75 bands [this will keep you busy and happy for a while]

cog on 2005-12-04T12:22:20

I'm posting this because I know there's a bunch of people here who enjoy music and challenges.

This picture has 75 bands.

Find them :-)

I'll post the ones I found so far (or that I think I've found) as a comment.

Apparently, there's some other bands you'll find but that really weren't supposed to be there... which is why some people are claiming to have found over 80 bands... O:-)

I'm also a bit confused with some symbols that seem to represent a singer... but a singer is not a band, is it?

Anyway, enjoy :-)

And remember, comments will be spoilers.

I was thrilled to discover The Alarm and Talking Heads, but you've got them and most of the others I saw. Still, that leaves:

  • Shakespear's Sister (sic)
  • The Pineapples from the Dawn of Time (dubious)
  • Flowers (band later renamed themselves to Icehouse)
  • The Angels

Re:A few more

... and (thanks to your inspiration)
  • The Little Angels
  • Blondie
  • lostprophets
  • The Manic Street Preachers
  • Eminem (I'm dubious of this as there's one of him, not several)
  • Trio (a bit of a stretch admittedly)
  • Twisted Sister (was going to mention this last time, but I didn't think the two contortionists quite fitted)
PS: Icehouse ... what a band. Will have to start getting all their stuff on CD so I can keep my vinyl intact :)

And a few more

grinder on 2005-12-10T17:14:54

of course, Television!

New Fast Automatic Daffodils

Ned's Atomic Dustbin (bit of a stretch).

If you admit Trio (heh), I guess Fun Boy Three is okay then :-)

Blondie leads to Concrete Blonde.

Celibate Rifles (book 'em Danno!)

Does the woman in the blue and gold robes belong to The Gun Club?

And Also The Trees (on the mountain)

that white corpse... Dead Can Dance?

I think I'll stop now, because these puns are getting awful!

I don't understand the watermelon wearing sunglasses (Strange Fruit? or they contain Bad Seeds (sorry)), nor the 21st August 2006 on the calendar...

Speaking of which, I don't understand the light posts nor that thing between the scissors, pumpkins and nails.

I also have some doubts about those three guys on top of the roof...

Also, see the guns n' roses? Not sure if the car means something, and not sure about that big plant on front...

They're part of the subway. I did wonder about The Subway Sect but then I'd be showing my age ;))

... nor that thing between the scissors, pumpkins and nails.

You mean the M&Ms (Eminem .. dubious IMO)?

I also have some doubts about those three guys on top of the roof...

Likewise.

Also, see the guns n' roses? Not sure if the car means something, and not sure about that big plant on front...

Which car? Regards the plant Nicole thought she recognised it, but the name didn't inspire anything.

Other things that might be references to names ... the postman, sack of potatoes in lower right-hand corner, the 3 pineapples and the mannequin in a bikini (Bikini Kill?).

Three Non Blondes

You know, I was pretty sure the "non blondes" were four, not three ;-)

Eels - Two eels between the woman and the young man

What about that young man? Any thoughts?
