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

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??

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

I think we got both!

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

Oh...

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

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

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

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?

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.)

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!)

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.
