    i messed up when i said ramones...i was going by the 50 cent piece...they used that logo fromt eh back on a lot of their albums and shirts...but it IS a 50 cent piece so 50 cent makes a lot more sense...my bad

    No, I think the images can have more than one meaning. Someone else actually posted the Ramones logo. You're right. I think it can be both. Just like the Eagles or Black Crowes also being Byrds. That is kinda the fun of something like this. People see more out of it than was even originally intended. :)

    As you can see, some of my guesses are really really clutching at straws. If anyone has the time or inclination to compile a definitive list of what's been found in this thread, please feel free to do so.

    Incidentally, I still can't stop looking at the thing!

    sex pistols...the queen holding the guns w/ pink dildos.

    also i think there are some bands being used twice...like presidents of the usa and dead kennedys...i guess they are going by the pics of rfk and jfk, only jfk was pres. also the pixies and kylie minagoguesomething...it doesn't really look like tinkerbell and seems kind of an obscure reference...but who knows.

    oh, and the monkees and gorillaz...they are either monkeys or gorillas and they are obviously gorillas

    I tend to agree with you, but it's all fun. I like how everyone comes up with different answers. But, I still don't think we have an answer on the three girls skipping?

    yeah, you're right...and i've been racking my brain about those 3 girls skipping since i saw the thread!

    i can't believe i didn't even notice the dead kennedy one (one of my fav bands) or the yellow man one, a few months ago i saw some old tapes in a store and they had all these yellow man ones that made me laugh

    after hours of thought, the three girls represent Run DMC. Assuming the gals are named D, M, and C respectively.

    Have you ideas on how this life ends?

    LISTEN. I can guarentee that PET SHOP BOYS is a band. you need to go through the original website, like virgin's normal site and navigate to get this by itself. USE THIS WEBSITE, AND U CAN SEE HTE ORIGINAL LINK HAS SOME OF THE PICTURE CUT OFF.

    I would say the surfers are Nada Surf. Think about it. They are walking down the street with surfboards. no water in sight.

    The malnourished dog has got to be Skinny Puppy.

    Under the dog it looks like The Scorpions

    I think someone should do a relist with descriptions.
