Spot the Bands

ecm · Post by **ecm** » 26 Nov 2005, 21:24

This was doing the rounds at work yesterday. It comes from the Virgin Music site.

There are 70 bands/artistes or thereabouts. Not sure how we'll keep track of our answers but we'll see how we go.

My colleagues and I found around 65 I think. How many can you spot?

Well, there is a Trash Can in the picture, but on second thoughts there's no sign of ol' Frankie...so it must just be 'Garbage'

And could that contortionist women thing be 'Twisted Sister'??
