Something to do...

..if you have a little time on your hands.

The picture in this link is supposed to have around 74 references to bands in it. So far I've managed to get up to about 40, although I have used some really tenuous links to justify some of them.

Unfortunately I seem to have become addicted, so if anyone can find some more I would appreciate it hugely, and it might mean me staring at the thing less thus giving me back some of my life!

    Yeah, that is really cool. Reminds me of stuff they put in Games magazine. Unfortunately, I'm not that good at it. I did get 15 in about 5 minutes, but the obvious ones of course. I'd love to see the list when everyone has it figured out. Back to the picture now. (it is kinda addicting) :)

    Ok, now I'm up to 26!

    Good question! Also, the yellow guy under the shop sign, and the blonde girl blowing pink bubble gum?

    The two guys in the suits are those perhaps the blues brothers? Not sure though.

    Good questions. El Kabong listed the Ramones so I added them. As to the gymnasts and three checks I have no idea. :)

    Thanks for that. :) I had already thought of that as 50 cent so it didn't occur to me. :)
