I’m convinced after a couple of weeks of this dominating mails sent to me and comments on the board that you can see pretty much any bands you want to in this but how and ever…
As a final comment and to draw a veil over this once and for all, here are the ones you guys saw…

For all those that said Rob Zombie, you’re wrong! It’s the old much better band Rob used to be in known as White Zombie. Look it up download it and hear some good music.

Monday’s newspaper published this picture and the answers.They said that there was only 70 bands in it(although if they have pink there why don’t they have the Darkness?).Also the pictures do not relate to characteristics of the bands so the 2 girls kissing is not tattoo etc,… and they have to represent the band name exactly so the rat is not the boomtown rats as where does the boomtown fit in?Anyway heres what they gave:>Smashing Pumkins>Scissor Sisters>Nine Inch Nails>Alice in Chains>White Zombie>WhiteSnake>Radiohead>Green Day>Cranberries>Madonna>Guns N Roses>Sex Pistols>Prince>Rolling Stones>Gorillazs>Manic Street Preachers>Seal>The Pixies>Men at Work>Crowded House>U2>Bee Gees>Eminem>Twisted Sister>The Killers>Hole>The Police>Iron Maiden>The White Stripes>Blur>Kiss>The Doors>Led Zepplin>The B52’s >Black Flag>The Cars>The Beach Boys>The Egagles>Cyprus Hill>Blondie>The Lemonheads>Ratt >50 Cent>Dead Kennedys>New York Dolls >Bush>Dinorsour Junior>The Vines>The Eels>Matchbox 20>Phish>Garbage>Deep Purple>Spoon>Red Hot Chilli Peppers>Blind Melon>The Postal Workers >Yellowman>Pink>Pavement>The Streets>Trio >Subway>Jewell>Cornershop>Black Crows>Korn>Queen>Cowboy Junkies>Great White

Sorry something to add.
This link

is to the bit brefore you get to the wallpaper. You can see the “cake” “Pet Shop Boys” and the right hand side of the full picture. (the wallpaper is cropped)
It also has a new puzzle…
The video (Warning, broadband only, the smallest version is 11MB and it’s a flash video, you can’t download it).
Rick, what on earth is the music to the video as it’s finally gotten rid of the Robyn tracks from my head.
Anyway, the video is all song titles.
Let’s start a new game:)
ok the people with surf boards are the beachboys and the poster of the shark is great white.
What about these Eagles, Twisted Sister, Nirvana?, Hole, Roots, Phish, Green Day, Presidents of the United States, Chevelle? hope this helps.
the b-52’s are the best, so are the rolling stones.
no one has said The Postal Service, people have tried to name that part of the picture but nobody has got it right! And I dont know if anyone has said Whitesnake yet and The Cars.
