Can I type the ones I recognise, or should I PM you in order to not spoil it for other forum members? Or shall we try to each contribute in order to solve the puzzle together? :)

I can see about 6 or 7 bands (maybe 8 if solo performers are to be included). So I fear I'm not scoring that well. :(

Bamb0 16 Mar 2018 07:16 PM

No you can type them out if you want :)

Tsunami 17 Mar 2018 12:57 AM

OK, from left to right in circle shape (starting on the left side):

Guns N Roses
Led Zeppelin
Gorillaz
Rolling Stones (the two giant rocks seem to roll over the street)
(The) Eagles
Garbage (the litter bin that fell over)
Scissor Sisters
Smashing Pumpkins
Alice in Chains
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nine Inch Nails (on the floor to the left of number 20)
Queen

if solo artists can be counted in: Prince (at least it looks like a prince talking to the queen, or is it a knight?)

I'm a bit puzzled over the other people, the other eatables, the airplanes, and the dollar coin ... in the picture :confused:

I worked hard on my list and now include links to YouTube examples of the music of each band, using ideas from others and a lot of web searches.

Wow thats an impreeesive list BIll,Muchos Gracious :)

Ill take to take another look and see if I can find more!

Tsunami 24 Apr 2018 04:57 AM

Some great bands in there...

Garbage...

Green Day...
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while... (such emotional line, from a very beautiful saudade song)

Radiohead
For a minute there, I lost myself... I lost myself... (no matter how little sense the rest of the song's lyrics make, that line has such a beautiful melancholy and sadness in it that it keeps repeating itself in my head for the last couple of weeks now)

Dresden Dolls :cool: Love them! But are they still in existance or is Amanda Palmer now on the solo path without time left for the band?

Led Zeppelin :cool:

Scissor Sisters (even Roger Waters loved their cover of "Comfortably Numb"!)

Congrats to whoever made the image for grasping so much legendary music in 1 single image...

PS: in some cases it isn't sure whether we talk about a band or a solo singer.
Isn't Eels basically Mark Oliver Everett with ever-rotating guest musicians?
And while NIN is definitely a band on-stage, in studio I believe Trent Reznor does virtually everything by himself...

After letting my post sit here nearly six years, you wouldn’t know any of those? You really haven’t heard of Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Doors, Queen, Prince, Radiohead, Cars, Rolling Stones, B-52’s Carpenters, U-2, BeeGees, Talking Head, Eagles, Spoon, Beach Boys, or Cranberries? How about the Pixies? Watch that video link I posted of Pixies with Kim Deal howling when she isn’t playing the bass. She’s still around:
