Name the 74 bands in this picture...
« Reply #45 on: December 09, 2005, 11:21:26 am »
There is a necklace with a jewel on it and the necklace itself is heart-shaped.  Jewel and Heart.  The mailman is Postal Service.  A bit of a stretch, the three girls running away from the rolling stone are the Treacherous Three.  The Subway could reference Train but I\'m not adding it.

Adding: The Hives and The Funky 4 + 1 More and Jewel and Heart and Postal Service and Treacherous Three.

Actually it\'s better to go here cause you can use the magnifying glass
http://www.heavy.com/heavy.php?channel=virginGame


and its better because its the full image. on the one we were working off of they cropped out pet shop boys, cake, skinny puppy, and one of the pixies.



um... did you even look at the picture I posted? I blew up the missing sections from heavy.com using the magnifying glass and added them to the other picture to make one large jpg.

adding the vines, television, lemonheads, Chevelle, corner shop, the beach boys, crowded house,  Lost prophets or manic street preachers (or both but counted as 1), Men at work/The Carpenters (or both, counted as 1), the butthole surfers/the beach boys (or both, counted as 1).

thats 73 or 76 depending on your counting the last 3.

at quick glance, the following problems exist:

black crowes are one there twice

and

the beach boys and butthole surfers are in reference to the same image

where are the funky 4+1? If it\'s the guys in white, there are 6 of them (count the arms) and I think they are manic street preachers.

Don\'t forget to add Television. Also, looks like a picture of a Madonna next to the Pet Shop. I also have my suspicions about the purple building - it\'s waaay out of place so would seem to suggest something. Then again, the competition says 74 bands so then we\'d have more???

If that poster represents Madonna, then you need to remove my contribution of Jesus and Mary Chain (since that poster was my source).  Madonna is definitely the better choice.

There are four of them, they are funky, and theres an un-funky guy in the middle of them.  Three people running from a huge boulder about to crush them are in a very treacherous situation, hence Treacherous Three.  I think the surfer dudes are the Beach Boys.  The Breakfast does not seem to have made the cut.  The Screaming Cheetah Wheelies are also not on the poster.

I will say though, that having two hip-hop groups from the early 80\'s (Treacherous 3 and Funky 4 + 1 More) seems a bit unlikely.  Every band is pop or rock, and most bands are from mid eighties or later.  The only bands older than that are all super-obvious all-time rock bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and the Eagles.

you know, as far as the 50 cent thing goes, there was a band that kicked out sick Psychedelic Acid Jazz in the late sixties called "The United States of America" as it is printed on the coin.....i dunno, a little something to chew on
