Can you find the 74 bands in this picture?

One of the better ad efforts lately is from Virgin Digital. Go to: http://www.heavy.com/heavy.php and click on the "Exercise Your Music Muscle" option. To view a slightly cropped version of the picture, go here: http://virgindigital.com/wallpapers/vir ... 80x960.jpg. You can also see a slightly related video and read more about all this here: http://virgindigital.com/eymm.htm

And I can personally confirm that I have gotten 74 correct answers, though there are several band names that fit the picture without being "officially correct". There are also some clues in the picture that don't seem to have anything to do with any of the bands, so beware of red herrings.

This is fun, but not so great for those of us with obsessive tendencies! :sneaky:

NOTE: This is just a wallpaper and is cropped on the left side, so look at the original or you'll totally miss 4 band clues!

Post your answers! It's pretty great to see how many people can come with that aren't even on the official list

Got a few like Smashing Pumpkins, Matchbox 20, Alice in Chains, Seal, Madonna etc (not to give too much away!)

Still debating whether the bloke? in yellow leaning against the wall is John Lee Hooker!

42 of CN's are correct.

26 of Arnold's are correct.

But as you can see, there are quite a few that fit the picture even if they aren't techinically right

This isn't the whole picture. There is more to this picture.

Good one Arnold. I think Talking Heads.

Arnold, this goes to prove my point about IQ, I got 4, gave up, went again, gave up immeadiatly, actually I think I am just impatient about anything I don't understand in about 20 seconds! Ah well, I shall try again, and harder.

Thank you Arnold. I racked my brains for an hour over that. You're right, Traffic is a possible too.

This is excellent, but can someone please explain the queen in the foreground of the picture holding what appears to be 2 pink guns made out of dildos?
