FInd music groups.

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I was doing this earlier in the week. There's actually nearer 80.

And the LHS of the image has been cut off. I'll try and remember my photobucket password and upload the full image.

[EDIT]

I won't post my answers as it's not really fair to - ten day headstart and everything. Plus I've consulted with loads of other folk on it already.
Grrr. Argh.

Cornershop - the shop on the corner?
Kiss - the two girls (?) kissing at the same corner?
Iron Maiden - the iron maiden in the middle of the street.
White Stripes - the white stripes on the ground.
Black Crowes - sitting on the street sign where the surfers are.
The Eels - the eels between the dildo lady and the red dude.
Eminem - right be Nine Inch Nails.

Do we all agree?

Right, I've dug out my list and I've got 92 acts on it. Though about half a dozen of those are exceedingly dodgy.

Ironically, I'm yet to find Dodgy in there.

[EDIT] All the ones mentioned so far are on mah list, so I agree. :)
Grrr. Argh.

92? Oh my god.

Legion; Sweet :up:

Pixies = the fairys?
Cypress Hill = the hill in the background?
Lemon Heads = the lemons in the stand?

And I have a feeling Madonna should be in there somewhere.
The two dudes walking around with guitar cases? Blues Brothers?

There's a painting of a Madonna and Child in the shop window, that could also indicate the Jesus and Mary Chain.

Oooh. That hadn't occured to me.

Somebody tried telling me that the two suited blokes are The Killers, because they're bloodstained and carrying mafia-style violin cases. I'm really not convinced.

Cypress Hill is a possible. I've got that down as a maybe, with Mountain as an alternative. Heck, it could even be both.
Grrr. Argh.

:D :D :D

Then again I don't know who Yellowman are.

The windows with loads of people in them = Crowded House?
The minature Stegosaurus behind the queen = Dinosaur Jnr?
Overturned litter bin = Garbage?
Daffodils on a cart = The New Fast Automatic Daffodils? (tenuous)

Others that should be obvious but for whatever reason aren't:
Two cowbys and a girl = ?
Giant silver spoon leaning against a wall = ?
Girl blowing bubblegum = ?
Pink sky = ?
