I see quite a few, but I'm sure I'm missing many. Here are the first two letters of the band names I quickly see (going from left to right). I am leaving off leading words such as "The ...".

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. |

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 |

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. There is more than one version of this image -- other versions include a few more clues off the left edge of the image you posted from Wayback Machine (captured over 12 years ago).

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 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 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... |
