    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. :)

    I added Pink and Tool. What do you think of Contortionists for the acrobats? I googled and they are a band?

    Funny! I added them all. :) And yes I put Tool in for the sledgehammer. Actually Sledgehammer is a tribute band, but?

    Someone suggested the Stray Cats and Pet Shop Boys, but I don't see either of those. Where are they, should I add them to the list?

    Hi Curious! I have these that aren't on your latest list:

    Bee Gees
    Blues Brothers
    Tool
    Contortionists
    Pink
    Kylie Minogue

    That would put us over the 74! I think you're right, in that people can find more than was originally intended. ;)

    That was fun...thanks a bunch!

    I'm going to take this to Thanksgiving and give my relatives a test! :)
