What is that thing in-between the queen’s ass and the cart? Some kind of lizard? And the guy who is smashing pumpkins has a yellow armband…does that mean anything? The sign the crows are on says main, and it is intersecting with another street i can’t make out…is that anything? Above the corn on the produce stand are two gourds…could it be The Gourds? The Cranberries are on a stack of boxes, nect to a bag of maybe potatoes? There is a poster of a rooster behind White Zombie…another band? Do the yellow flowers on the cart have a purpose, or just there to fill out the rest of the flower cart? The windows to the left of the blond bubble gum girl are purple…any significance there? The shop that has the bikini model has a sign saying SHOP…is that anything? bouv - master of seeing things, but has no music knowledge, so I let you people figure things out. ---

:smack: Actually, the small gourds with the facial expressions should be **The _Small_ Faces**. ---

For the “Go-Go’s”, I thought they were **The Runaways**. And maybe I missed it, but has anyone else said **Jet**? ---

Also, could “the Manic Street Preachers” be **The Cult?** ---

One more. Could the plant in front of the “G&R cart” be some kind of **Ivy?** ---

I was going to mention “The Cult” as a possibility for the group in white robes as well. Good call, **DfrntBreign**. > [@](#): > > There is a poster of a rooster behind White Zombie…another band? I’m pretty sure that’s “Seal”, not a rooster. > [@](#): > > The shop that has the bikini model has a sign saying SHOP…is that anything? “Cornershop”. The two boys in front of the Pet Shop are clearly the “Pet Shop Boys”. What’s the floating sex doll in the shop window? Who are the 3 people on the balcony above “Crowded house”? ---

If we’re allowed to double (or triple) up, The Eagles / Wings could also be The Byrds. ---

Those Cranberries are Irish. 😛 Other things I know aren’t there: Those kids have to be someone’s Offspring. The gold dude has to have a Goldfinger. Could any of those shades of purple be described as Deep Purple? Is Alice’s last name Cooper? ---

For what it’s worth, someone posted a [picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/saboya/64092801/) you can run your cursor over with their own answers - they may not all be correct, but they found a handful more that I had missed. ---

I have 72 confirmed answers, but the other 2 aren’t anywhere in this thread, and I’m not even sure what part of the picture I should be looking at for them. So close and yet so far! Do you guys want me to post what I’ve got under a spoiler tag, or would that spoil the guessing fun you’re having? ---

The tv’s could also be The Television Personalities. You could also say that The Streets are in there. ---

maybe the three people just below the gorillas is Fatboy slim? It is a Virgin artist/group and is a picture of two fat guys and a skinny guy. I am thinking look at Virgin’s list of artist/groups and see who isn’t there and try to fit them in somehow since the whole point it to prmote Virgin records.
