Oh yeah… I actually recall seeing them the other week. Hrrm, I think my mind just concocted an image today that was much more … disturbing … and assumed they weren’t there.

Sex Pistols were in there, Mike. The “Queen” facing the “Prince” was holding an alarming pair of pink firearms. Wonder what they’d shoot (eeww)?

How could Virgin not include Pink Floyd? Or even Sex Pistols… that would make for an alarming picture.

The most Legendary band ever are in there, The Rolling Stones, hidden as erm.. a couple of big stones.. rolling.

Steph, I did wonder if that “hole in the ground” near the crossing was possibly a pile of beetles. Surely the most legendary band ever is in there somewhere?

For some reason, the first thing that caught my attention was the crosswalk, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Beatles’ Abbey Road (or the band The Crossing), and the pistols made me think of their Revolver album (then the band Velvet Revolver). And until I realized it was a punpkin he was smashing, I figured it was a prog rock band named Glass Hammer. I suppose there’s a ton of different ways this photo could be seen, depending on how many band names you know, obscure or popular.
Very fun, though, thanks!

Tooshay. I can think of some Brit-party pop I’d rather not admit to sharing a country with 😆
Better switch to laughing at Whigfield. Safer, until the Scandisiters post in 🙂

I don’t rate them. But I’d fear for my safety if I were to admit that out loud in a pub here on New Years Eve. It’s the the standard sing when drunk song, combined with some Cold Chisel. INXS is too hard.

Mike’s anticiapted defence of “Men at Work” as a serious, credible contribution to popular music is expected any month now. In the meantime, we apologize for the lack of service from Guitarsite while the server is set on this mighty task. While you’re waiting, we have some piped music for you.

😯 , Lee. I’ll just smile and give you a Vegemite sandwich, on Mike’s behalf 😆

I also spotted numerous instances of “Men Without Hats” – just about everybody in the pic. Some of them even looked like they were doing a “Safety Dance”, albeit a bit Krishna (and no sign of Mrs Trudeau).

I agree Mike, Men At Work cannot be classed as a band, more a kind of Parody cross breed of Howard Jones – Sting – and Russ Abbot.
Nobody but Aussies ever took them seriously. -

Yeah, also = “The Engineers”, or anything else that fits, like The Drifters (Up on the Roof -geddit?)
TBH, I thought glw’s “Muse” was clever. My “Green Day” was just spotting something – no grey cells required.

My biggest disagreement with their answers is number 42. The guys on top of the roof = Men at Work? c’mon.

That whippet really has me confused.

Please may i add, the paper said it was 70 answers, but in fact acording to the Virgin website where the competition ran, there were 72 answers, and then there was an ‘official’ picture to mull over and it was wider than the one they published, and thats where ‘the pet shop boys’ (2 boys standing outside a petshop, durh) and the now infamous ‘Whippet’ dog came from.
I agree ‘Muse’ was very clever, and a very clever Green Day from Bass too. -

Don’t be daft. It was obviously Iron Maiden. No two ways about it.

In that respect… your right

I go for FLC over “The Killers” because FLC made extensive use of “Resevoir Dogs” clips on the “Scooby Snacks” single. They even credited Tarantino as a co-writer. The guys with the violin cases in that pic look rather like “Mr Pink” and “Mr Brown” 🙂

Fun lovin criminals would be a bank robber in a party hat carrying a bag with a doller sign on it. 🙂
I don’t even wanna begin with what the Butthole Surfers would have actually been.
But I agree with your QOTSA one.

Sure was, although the mu did look a bit like “can’t put up Greek symbols so a ‘u’ will have to do”. U2 was probably the original intended. Some of the “official” answers are a bit contrived, though. I mean, “The Killers”? Just because they look like gangsters? Could just as easily be “Men Without Hats” or (more likely) Fun Lovin’ Criminals.
-
December 10, 2005 at 7:43 pm #65452glwParticipant
U2 indeed. My interpretation of it as Muse was much cleverer.

I studied your link really really carefully, Lee, and I think I can reveal the newspaper was the Daily Star 😆
I don’t agree that their opinion is the gospel, though. I still think that “The Beach Boys” could just as easily be “Butthole Surfers”. Also, I know “Black Crowes” was already done, but the way they were settled on the sign made me think of Hitchcock, and “The Byrds”.
EDIT: and their “Iron Maiden” is still my “QOTSA”
