No, its in my list.

That plant "below" the Guns N' Roses is what I'm unsure of.

Wait...it was in my list. I think I deleted it by accident.

EDIT: yeah I accidentally deleted a line of text, its fixed now.

Crowded House,house full of people
Jesus and Mary Chain, shop window
And yes, Ratt is a band from the '80's


All these are from reading your descriptions, I'll check the ad also.
I love stuff like this.

Crap. I actually have things to do and I'm staring at this picture.
How about :
Beach Boys, dudes with surfboards
Talking Heads, TV sets in window
Sex Pistols, self explainatory
And what's up with the calender marked 08/21/06 on the fruit stand?

I gotta get moving or my whole day will be shot in the ass.

So Ratt, Crowded House, Talking Heads and Jesus and Mary Chain move us up to 66.

How about U2, spray painted on the wall.
Sorry if there are some dupes in my other post .

Um... The Postal Service is most likely it

http://www.subpop.com/bands/postalservice/...e/downloads.php

Ramones - The coin in the street.
TATU (im guessing) - The lesbians kissing on the street corner

EDIT: Btw good job to whoever it was that guessed Cowboy junkies and Black Flag in the same post. I didn't know the same person could even know these two bands together

The roots behind the queen (Twisted Roots?)[/b]

The Roots. (or The Vines)

The dinosaur behind the queen (Nickelback?)[/b]

Dinosaur Jr.

The group to the left of the guys in black suits[/b]

Manic Street Preachers

The postman[/b]

The Postal Service

The spoon[/b]

Spoon (great band by the way, check 'em out for sure)

As if I missed the White Stripes...

So I think we're at 70 combined.

That would be like me missing Nine Inch Nails (which I almost did, until I realized that those sticks were actually nails).

The people kissing on the street corner are, I believe, KISS.

The roots behind the queen really threw me. All I could think of was Twisted Roots, but it occurred to me that they never got big beyond New England. I got stumped from there.

Cowboy Junkies. That crossed my mind, too. That and Jane's Addiction, which I doubted.

Black Flag. Wow, that was obvious. I feel dumb now. :sweat2:

Dinosaur Jr... damn. I'm really feeling dumb now.

... and The Postal Service. Like I thought, the answer was an obvious one.

Looks like I'll be checking out a few bands. I’m glad I put this here in the Lounge. I love stuff like this.

Is it possible those "sex pistols" could also be "The Vibrators"?

what is that animal in the pet store...is it a dog? or a rabbit?

what about those white things beside the "eminems"; are those sticks? The Stix?

Nope. Those are nails. Nine Inch Nails to be precise. ^_^
