I just got Cypress Hill & The 3 guys on the roof are The Carpenters
Traffic signals = Traffic?
Pedestrian crossing markings = White Stripes?
The White Stripes! Nice one.
Iron Maiden? (on the crosswalk)
Shit! The first picture I posted wasn't the whole fucking picture + it's 74bands not 75!
Sorry, I got the first picture sent from a friend.
Here's the whole picture from the official virgin website:
http://pub.virgindigital.com/content/content.aspx?type=M1603&Ter=GB&Dest=W&Area=S
Pet Shop Boys
Cake
QuoteIron Maiden? (on the crosswalk)
Yes!!!
crowded house
The purple building, the girl blowing bubblegum, the 4 coloured boards lent against the apartment & the 3girls skipping are driving me crazy!
There's a UK band called The Subways but there's only one in the picture?
oh cmon!
Pet Shop Boys anyone?
EDIT:
haha, dang beat me to it. Great White for the shark.
That was my fault - the first link I posted didn't show the whole picture & the Pet Shop Boys
were cut off! Haha
I've since modified the link ;)
dammit, great white was scored before too.
Blind Melon would be the watermelon with the shades on.
What we still need is the Purple Building, 3 girls skipping, the coloured boards lent against the apartment, the guys in white, the girl blowing bubblegum, the dog, the plants by the flowerstand + maybe a couple more...
Purple Building = Deep Purple
the guys in white = The Killers
the girl blowing bubblegum = Blondie
, the dog = Skinny Puppy
the plants by the flowerstand = The Roots
i looked at this for 5 minutes and then had to stop because my brain started melting.

Excellent Job Sir!
Thinking about it again, maybe the guys in the black are The Killers & the guys in white are The Cult or Manic Street Preachers?
did anybody get The Scissor Sisters?
and is that Nickelback with the giant coin?
and what's up with the contortionists?
Quotedid anybody get The Scissor Sisters?

Scissor Sisters we had. I think the coin is 50Cents - Tracy got that one. Back of a Nickel though, good point! Hmm, not sure?
I thought maybe Twisted Sister for the contortionists?
did anybody get the Vines? and i can't seem to find Dinosaur Jr.
edit: i am probably mistaken.
we had a collective effort at work:
the vines
twisted sister
corner shop
nine inch nails
the cops?

Whoa, fun times. How many do you guys have left?

Sorry Ali, didn't see your list whilst I was making mine!
Thanks :)
i was the htinking the plants might be Tea Leaf Green?
What's the thing next to the cake? that's gotta be something, right? I can't make it out...
where's the cake?
Bottom left, right by the virgin symbol.
ah i had this emailed to me last week, and it's missing the whole section down the left hand side - the zombie is right on the edge... the think next to the cake looks like a dead frog to me... :-/
so we still don't have the three girls holding hands, or the coloured boards leaning against the building.....?
I thought maybe the boards were doors therefore The Doors? Could very well be wrong...
Someone mentioned that the guys in white might be the Cult, but I think they could be the Polyphonic Spree. Looks just like them.
What a great picture. I am sure we are missing some. Is there a list of what is actually on there?
has anyone noticed the purple buiolding is deep purple
The girls down the street could be the Indigo Girls...
Not entirely sure though.
The blues Brothers - is that taken?
Here are the answers if anybody wants them:
http://uk.download.yahoo.com/plus/fu/oa/answers.jpg
We only missed a couple/got a couple wrong so I think we did pretty good!
Well done Team Jacket!!! :)
The thing next to the cake looks like Scorpion...
Hey cool, the answers.
The running girls were Trio, hm?
They had me very stumped. I've never heard of Trio.
Thanks for posting the answers. That is such a cool picture. Everybody did do a good job.
