Good fun, isn’t it? But it helps to see the full image as mentioned above!!
www.hydeparkrecords.net/v.jpg
I don’t think we should get too obscure when sussing them out, so the yellow man is simply ‘yellowman’, rather than ‘yellow belly’, ‘yello’ etc. Also, I don’t think we should get hung up on colours as clues or else we could rhyme off ‘red’, black’, ‘blue’ and finish the quiz in no time! For what it’s worth,
here’s my list, concluding with the one’s I’m puzzled by:
1.Guns n Roses – displayed on the cart
2.Queen – pretty obvious one
3.Nine Inch Nails – pile of nails on road
4.Eels – two wiggly beasties on the road
5.50 Cent – the big half-dollar coin leaning on the kerb
6.Smashing Pumpkins – as carried out by the bloke wielding a hammer
7.Scissor Sisters – the pink scissors walking
8.Lemonheads – on the fruit ‘n’ veg stall
9.Alice in Chains – girl in wonderland outfit, chained
10.Black Crows – on main street sign
11.Cowboy Junkies – cowboy shooting up
12.Rolling Stones – the big rocks spinning along
13.Garbage – spilled on road
14.Matchbox 20 – arrangement of matchboxes
15.Hole – in the road
16.The Cars – parked on road
17.Bee Gees – graffiti on wall
18.Bloc party – people inside the building
19.Crowded House – people inside different building
20.White Snake – crawling up lamp-post
21.The Doors – propped up against building
22.White Zombie – the white zombie, surprisingly
23.Seal – on poster
24.Green Day – marked on calendar
25.Beach Boys – blokes with surfboards
26.Blur – the blurry figure
27.Eagles – flying along
28.Gorillaz – lots of ‘em!
29.B52’s – bombers in sky
30.Black flag – the black flag!
31.U2 – the 2 ‘u’s on wall
32.Led zeppelin – floating about
33.Talking Heads – on TV sets in window
34.Iron Maiden – ‘statue’ look-a-like on the crossing
35.Radiohead – bloke on crossing with a radio
36.Prince – beside the queen
37.Ratt – the rat on the road
38.Yellowman – er… the yellow man!
39.Deep purple – coloured building in background
40.Great White – poster of jaws/a shark
41.The Police – coppers on the road
42.Red Hot Chilli Peppers – on fruit n veg stall
43.Blind Melon – melon with dark glasses
44.Madonna – painting inside shop
45.Kiss – as performed by the lesbians at the street-light

54.Eminem – spilled sweets
55.The Postal Service – postman on rounds
