The couple making out, wouldn't that be KISS
and the sky is Pink

[messenger13]

Here's a good question:
On the right, under the lamp post...
The girl leaning on the guy, and the cowboy...could that be:

Jane's Addiction?

And the three girls holding hands, are they
3 Non-Blondes?

And the letters on the wall under U2,
The BeeGees

And what about The Postal Service?

Add KISS and Pink and we're done.

Joe,

The cowboy mainlining heroin is "Cowboy Junkies"

Some of the answers I've seen make no sense, so maybe we should take your list and add where in the picture we saw the bands.

[hoog62]

The Vines
Aren't those vines growing out of the grating behind the Queen?

[mikeinpgh]

The Vines or the Roots

[mconlogue]

I dont know if this is accurate, it was published in a newspaper in the UK (this pic comes from virgin music BTW)

U2
Radiohead
The Eels

[Dick]

On the vertical pillar below U2, I'm trying to make that "The Bee-Gees", butt it won't firm up.

sure looks like it to me too Dick!

[Bayliner2052]

Barry "The Fish" Melton ( the fish in the fishbowl)

[meese]

Forget the "official list." I can also add:

Traffic
The Byrds
All Saints
Fish (ex-Marillion frontman, not the misspelled impostors)
.38 Special (though you NRA-types would have to verify)
War (it's a stretch, but if the planes were bombing . . .)
The Presidents of the United States of America (remember that song Peaches?)
Dead Presidents (while we're on a theme)
The The (OK, I didn't see that, but I made you look)

[hoog62]

Hold the phone boys; we're missing the left edge. Here's the whole picture......

[meese]

Ah, I knew Pet Shop Boys would be in there somewhere. Not that I'm a fan (I prefer metal & hard rock), but they're such a British icon.

I don't know what the wedding cake and squid are for though, or the little whippet. And why is Queen holding up Prince?

[Keith]

And why is Queen holding up Prince?[/QUOTE]

Judging by his body language, it looks like she's threatened to use the pistols in an un-natural way! :eek:

[messenger13]

I don't know what the wedding cake and squid are for though... And why is Queen holding up Prince?Um...you never heard of Cake? Really?

(I don't get the squid either)

And...Queen is holding up Prince with a Velvet Revolver.

I thought that was pretty clever.

[eljeffe]

No, Joe, she's holding him up with Sex Pistols. :D

[messenger13]

Ew!!! I'm not sure I can ever look at that pic again...thanks to YOU!!! :D

[meese]

Um...you never heard of Cake? Really?
Nope, must've missed that one. But I know how to look things up:

Cake - Formed 1991 Sacramento
Albums
1994 Motorcade of Generosity
1996 Fashion Nugget
1998 Prolonging the Magic
2001 Comfort Eagle
2004 Pressure Chief

But I gotta say, your new signature line is perfect. :D
