[Beachwood Mac]

This will be fun - also see B52's, U2, Matchbox 20

[tynan88]

I'm up to 32, it's great fun, I'll let you guys go a bit longer before I spoil it though.

[Beachwood Mac]

Are those Nine Inch Nails next to Matchbox 20?

[Livia]

Are those Nine Inch Nails next to Matchbox 20?

I think so!

And yeah, I'll go w/ Madonna on that pic also.

Garbage- duh!! Can't believe I missed that...

Yeah, tough to see the stuff in the back.

[Livia]

Is the Queen holding 2 Steely Dans? I don't get that?

[Beachwood Mac]

Green Day on the calendar on the cart!

[Livia]

OMG - I just figured out Blind Melon! :lol:

[Livia]

Do you think that's M&Ms on the floor too? (Eminem)

And perhaps those pink guns are Sex Pistols?

Yes and yes! Sex Pistols, that's hilarious!

[Livia]

Oh course!

Do you think the melon with glasses on is Blind Melon?

What are the three girls holding hands in the background supposed to stand for?

Yeah, I just posted Blind Melon...don't know the 3 girls?? But I'm done now, this shiit will drive me crazy, I'll check back later to see the full list.

[Beachwood Mac]

This could be a reach but is that a "Hole" in front of the girls holding hands?

[Livia]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it!

Is the cowboy for the Cowboy Junkies? He looks like he's doing something to his arm anyway.

I also spot what could be The Doors behind the couple kissing.

I got the junkies on my first list. :nod:

[Beachwood Mac]

um, everyone left us Sharon :shrug:

I was going to leave it to Tynan to count up our totals. :)

[Beachwood Mac]

My eyes aren't good enough to see the TV's in the window and what that might be as well as the picture next to the Dead Kennedys. I can't tell if it's a chicken or a seal!

[sara1998]

....Pixies.....
thats what they are.... thanks, they were driving me nuts!

[johndoe]

If you want a bigger image, its at http://www.chinternet.co.uk/75bands.jpg

[Livia]

Talking Heads (the televisions)
I'm gonna say no on Jefferson Airplane, cuz those are two B-52s.
Yes, Cypress Hill!!
Yes, Twisted Sister - I thought the top person was a guy, but w/ the bigger pic, I can see it's a girl.

[tynan88]

I don't have any different to you guys now, in fact you added to my list, it's hard!

[Livia]

There is a band here called The Gourds, but I don't know if they are well-known enough to make this pic!

[Livia]

Great White (the shark poster at the bus stop)

[irishgrl]

OMG - I just figured out Blind Melon! :lol:
dang ya beat me to it!

[Livia]

What's crawling out of the gutter? Scorpions?

And I want to say The Turtles on that other critter, but it's only one???

Did we get Fish yet? And what's the necklace from the Titanic called again? Down there by the fish?? Maybe it's supposed to be Jewel? But that's a person, not a band. Aaaack! I'm going back to the living room...

[tynan88]

I don't know what is coming out of gutter, but Jewel makes sense, there is already 50cent and Madonna, so I am sure Jewel counts.

[irishgrl]

Is that a green Volcano blowing its stack or a mountain covered with trees?

I was going to say Big Mountain but did someone already say that?

[tynan88]

I think that one was cypress hill, also were the two gymnasts pointed out as twisted sister?

[irishgrl]

I think that one was cypress hill, also were the two gymnasts pointed out as twisted sister?
oh...Thanks! Im not getting anything new because all you eagle eyes have picked out the easier ones and I dont know any of the obscure ones...but it sure is fun seeing the answers!

[johndoe]

Would the little dinosaur just behind Queen be T. Rex?

I also see the police waaay off in the background.

[Karlie]

This is cool. :)

Hmm... has anyone mentioned The Carpenters yet?

[tynan88]

No haven't got the Carpenters, where are they?

[Beachwood Mac]

Maybe the 3 girls running are the Go Go's - they look like they have white GoGo boots on.

[Karlie]

No haven't got the Carpenters, where are they?

On top of a building on the right, under the gorillas.

[Jyqm]

If you want a bigger image, its at http://www.chinternet.co.uk/75bands.jpg

Ahhhhhhhhhh, thank you.

How has nobody gotten RATT yet?

Also, that building in the back is a pretty deep shade of purple...

And there are some cops wandering around back there: The Police!

The guys in dark suits with tommy guns cases and blood on their shirts: The Killers?

And that guy on the corner, the saffron-hued fellow, he's looking rather relaxed, isn't he? Shall we call him... Mellow Yellow?

(And yes, Sharon, The Postal Service is a band.)

[Jyqm]

I think that's Dinosaur Jr myself (a small dinosaur) Plus it doesn't look like a T Rex.

Also I reckon all those leaves at the front maybe Bush!

Anyone agree those guys in white are the Manic Street Preachers and anyone know who the blonde girl on the roof blowing bubblegum is?

I think you're right about Dinosaur Jr. and Manic Street Preachers, though I'm not so sure about Bush. I'm also not so sure those are scorpions coming out of that grate, but I really can't what it might be.

Bubblegum girl confounds me, too. Is she blonde, or is she wearing some kind of veil? And how about the fallen-over mannequin in the store window? And did we ever determine the identity of the three girls holding hands?

Have we decided if those are indeed Steely Dans sticking out of those sex pistols? Do they even actually manufacture Steely Dans? (Incidentally, I've always found it very appropriate that Steely Dan named themselves after a fictional dildo. It lets you know right off the bat: "This is music for pussies and assholes.")

[snowman]

No. But it's an interesting picture by itself...

[strandinthewind]

Alice In Chains (to the right of the pineapples) could be La Nicks at that movie premiere :laugh:

to wit:

awww...bless her little fashion victim heart! :rolleyes: :nod:

but at least you are thinking...this whole thing is confusing to me. sigh....

[skcin]

I searched & found a band called The Super Pineapples. Those pineapples don't look all that super, though. :shrug: :lol:

[Jyqm]

The one's I'm not sure about or can't figure out:

Shop - Cornershop perhaps?
Yellow dude - is this Yellowman?

I think both of those make perfect sense.

I also wonder if all the pumpkin seeds could be The Seeds, though that seems like such an obscure group.

[skcin]

HEY! The version I'm seeing is cropped. Here's the full screen:

http://pub.virgindigital.com/content/Images/GB/W/S/M1603/COMPENTRYUK/compimage.jpg

[Beachwood Mac]

Well that adds Pet Shop Boys - Thanks Paula!

[Jyqm]

HEY! The version I'm seeing is cropped. Here's the full screen:

http://pub.virgindigital.com/content/Images/GB/W/S/M1603/COMPENTRYUK/compimage.jpg


You beat me to it! I was just about to post, "Heeeyyy... I don't think we're seeing the full picture here." Of course, this is a smaller image again, unfortunately.

Also, according to Virgin there are only 74 bands.

We can add Pet Shop Boys and Cake now, though!

[skcin]

Who are the guys in white? The Cult?

Did anyone say Pavement yet?

And someone mentioned that The Carpenters may be Men At Work?

[Beachwood Mac]

I was thinking the thing next to the cake was a toad - Toad the Wet Sprocket?

[Jyqm]

Who are the guys in white? The Cult?

I think we decided on Manic Street Preachers.

Did anyone say Pavement yet?

Hmm. Could be? Almost seems too subtle, but you never know.

Also, I'm now convinced that those are The Roots coming up out of that grate. The Scorpions are still in, though, as we can now see them below the Cake on the far left side.

[johndoe]

Dude, what about the people in the window...

Quiet Riot?

[skcin]

Dude, what about the people in the window...

Quiet Riot?


Interesting. I think we have it as Crowded House right now.

[Livia]

How has nobody gotten RATT yet?

We did! (see my first post) :p

[danax6]

No Beatles, no Mac? :shrug:

[StevieNicksEO17]

No Beatles, no Mac? :shrug:

Beatles would be easy to add in there, but what pictures would you put in for Fleetwood Mac? That one's difficult...

[wondergirl9847]

Green Day for the green block on the calendar. ETA: Oops, sorry, you already had Green Day on the list.

Okay, who are the guy/girl leaning against the light pole near the subway? Also, the chihuahua...what does he represent? Small dog? Is that a band? LOL

[ryan8472]

Also, the chihuahua...what does he represent? Small dog? Is that a band? LOL
Lil' Bow Wow? :laugh:

[wondergirl9847]

You are probably right! LOL!

[ryan8472]

Also ~ I suppose Gorillaz could also be The Monkees, right? Or am I slow...

[danax6]

Beatles would be easy to add in there, but what pictures would you put in for Fleetwood Mac? That one's difficult...I was actually thinking about that...

But the Beatles not being in there boggles me, really.

[Jyqm]

Also ~ I suppose Gorillaz could also be The Monkees, right? Or am I slow...

Gorillas are not monkeys. They are apes. Among other differences, monkeys have tails (although the Monkees do not, as far as I know).

[Jyqm]

No Beatles, no Mac? :shrug:

If you can come up with any possible way to represent Fleetwood Mac visually for this type of thing, my hat is off to you.

[johndoe]

Beatles would be easy to add in there, but what pictures would you put in for Fleetwood Mac? That one's difficult...

Well, theres a camper company called "Fleetwood." Just need to involve a "mac" thing.

And the dog next to the cake is Skinny Puppy.

[Jyqm]

Lil' Bow Wow? :laugh:

I don't know... this is a brand new contest, and he's been just plain ol' Bow Wow for about a year now...

[wondergirl9847]

Well, theres a camper company called "Fleetwood." Just need to involve a "mac" thing.

Perhaps have Macauley Culkin (known as Mac sometimes) with Fleetwood tattooed on his arm?

[Livia]

A "mac" is the Brit term for a raincoat, would be a stretch, but do-able. Like someone wearing a raincoat that said Fleetwood on it somewhere??

[StevieNicksEO17]

Well, theres a camper company called "Fleetwood." Just need to involve a "mac" thing.

Put a Big Mac on the camper? I don't know... :lol:

[Wild_Heart03]

haha, it's a good thing there's already a list about or I'd be getting a headache just trying to figure them all out.

Isn't there an official list on Virgin's site?

[Jyqm]

Isn't there an official list on Virgin's site?

I don't believe so, they're running some kind of contest with this thing, so there's no list of answers posted at the moment.

[johndoe]

But, you can input answers an unlmited amount of times, so you could input one answer just to see if its right. (They give you the number you got right at the end). So if it says you got one right, you know its correct.

I put these answers and ones from others sites, and I got a 53. I think it might have been because I put bands like "The Dead Kennedys" as "Dead Kennedys." So I dunno.

[Miss Vicky]

The TVs in the window...

Someone said "Television"...

Which I've never heard of. But I was thinking maybe Talking Heads?

Edit: Looks like someone else suggested it earlier. I guess the consensus is no?

[Jyqm]

The TVs in the window...

Someone said "Television"...

Which I've never heard of. But I was thinking maybe Talking Heads?

I think we got both!

Television were one of the early punk bands in the late 70s.

[Miss Vicky]

Oh...

Obviously I live in my own little world musically. I haven't heard of half the groups people have mentioned. :o

[strandinthewind]

A "mac" is the Brit term for a raincoat, would be a stretch, but do-able. Like someone wearing a raincoat that said Fleetwood on it somewhere??

Or - have a Fleetwood motor home with a Big Mac box on it :shrug:

[johndoe]

I've been looking around other forums on the internets, and the general consensus is that they represent the go-gos.

[ryan8472]

I've got 69 right on the Virgin website so far (including the Go-Go's)
I'm sure those are B-52s in the picture but whatever way I type it in, it says it's wrong. :(
Well, those ARE B-52's. Wonder why it says it's wrong? :shrug:

[Jyqm]

I wonder what the last four are...

We should at least be able to figure out what parts of the picture represent them, even if we can't guess the names of the artists:

1. The mannequin/doll in the shop window remains unaccounted for. (There's also something in the window next to the mannequin, but I can't make out what it is. It's partially obscured by the reflection of the Shop sign.)

2. As does the bag of onions or potatoes down in the front right.

3. And the pineapples.

4. Main Street?

5. What kind of animal is that in the Pet Shop window?

There's a band called The Alarm. (On the facade of the building on the left, among the Pixies.)

[Jyqm]

I just tried The Alarm but it came up with zero sadly.

Ooh I forgot The Postal Service and that's right!
So now it's 71!!!

Did you try just "Alarm?"

The stupid mannequin/blow-up doll is driving me mad...

(I think you also forgot Television, Sharon!)

[Jyqm]

I did. I tried 'The Alarm' and 'Alarm'.

Television isn't right I'm afraid, although they obviously are televisons. Talking Heads was right though.

Also Paula was right with The Cult and Pavement.

Amazing that they would think to include Pavement and the White Stripes and then forget that they had thrown a bunch of televisions in there.

[Jyqm]

A couple of other thoughts:

Did you try Bush, Sharon?

Also, one of the cars in the back might be a Chevelle.

[Jyqm]

Yep, Bush isn't right. I just tried Chevelle and that's not right either.

Hanging out with the Cowboy Junkies, does that look like Tarzan's Jane? Addicted to whatever drugs the cowboys are taking?

Also, at the bottom of the Guns N' Roses vases: Ice Cube?

[Livia]

NICE! :nod:

[Jyqm]

I've been checking some other message boards, and apparently the address of the building to the right of the Spoon is 311. I don't know how anyone could possibly read that.

[Miss Vicky]

Is there any significance to the color of the purple building? Just a thought.

[Livia]

Is there any significance to the color of the purple building? Just a thought.

Yeah, it's Deep Purple - on the list! :)

[Jyqm]

Yes!! 311 is right. Edit: That makes 73 right answers

Apparently, the final answer is D12, though I'll be damned if anyone can convince me where it is. One theory seems to be that, if you look at the picture upside down and check out the Twisted Sisters, the outline of the pink one and her shadows forms a D, while the yellow one's body is contorted into a 12. The hell if I buy that...

Anticlimactic? You bet. The mannequin means nothing.

Yep, I just tried it and it's right.
