Don't know if anyone's posted this, but if not here's a great time-waster:
http://virgindigital.com/wallpapers/virgindigital1280x960.jpg
Aparently there's 72 bands.
I can get to about 50. For example the giant white snake crawling up the streetlamp is Whitesnake. Pretty obvious one there. But some of them a lot more difficult and tricky, like the 'BGG' scrawled on the wall in the background or the woman holding the guns with pink dildos for barrels. I know what bands they are, anyone else?
Enjoy!

What I think I have so far.

Led Zepplin
Queen
Whitesnake
Smashing pumpkins
White Zombie
B-52s
Alice in Chains
Prince
Rolling Stones
Eagles
Nickelback
Spoon
Blur
Black Flag
Matchbox 20
Phish
Garbage
Pixies
Cars
Eels
Radiohead
White Stripes
Ratt
Talking Heads
Butthole Surfers
Madonna
Platinum Blonde
Cowboy junkies
Counting Crows
Great White
Dead kennedys

Butthole Surfers?
If you mean the two surfer guys, I think it's the Beach Boys, not the Butts. I don't see any buttholes near them. Also it's not a nickel but a 1/2 dollar. Good going though!
Worked out BGG or the dildoguns yet?

Gotta be Beegees.

also found Seal, Crash Test Dummies, and I think the two contortionists are Twisted Sister?

How about all the people in the room above the surfers?
I'm not sure, but I think the 3 guys on the rooftop could arguably be two different bands.

Might be a Quiet Riot going on.

No-one's got the calendar in the bottom right corner yet. Surprising considering how many ppl on this forum like that band.

Two that are bugging me are the 3 woman who look like they straight from an 80's jazzercise dance class skipping in front of the giant rock (hmm...giant rocks rolling down the hill what could they be?) and the long-haired woman blowing bubblegum top left.
Know who the tree on the hill in the background is?


Is this a great timewaster or what?!

I see the Doors in the background and that's an Iron Maiden in the cross walk.

How has no one mentioned Guns and Roses?

ooh! radiohead too!

Might be a Quiet Riot going on.
ohh..could be. I was thinking more Crowded House myself. But could be both.
Shop on the corner --- Cornershop. (d'oh)

I see a Scissor Sisters.

Ooh and I see The Police...

the Platinum Blonde, you mean?

I want to know why no-one has mentioned Deep Purple or the Gorillaz!

Yeh, that's the one. I figured it's Blondie or someone, but the bubblegum just seems to be important too.

3 guys on the roof making a fence. My guess is 'The Carpenters' and/or 'Men at Work'. Also the fence could be a 'White Picket Fence'.

Oh, I get the half dollar now. 50cent.

Nine Inch Nails next to Matchbox 20

A baby dinosaur to the left of the Queen: Dinosaur Jr.
No idea as to the vines coming out of the sewer.

Now how about that plant below Guns'n'Roses? Robert Plant maybe?

Korn and Red Hot Chili Peppers

maybe TATU - those chicks making out under the snake.

they might just be KISS.

Oh I get the calendar now... Duh! Green Day! and what's that in the case down below? Some sort of Jewelry? Heart?

Ah... Cranberries

Those are some happy looking lemons...

And I'm ashamed that I didn't get "U2" sooner.

Happy-looking lemons? Why would that be? They're just heads!

Or flying through the air...

Anyone guess the white guy on the left yet? He doesn't look too healthy ;)

I'm sure there's a perfect circle here somewhere...

I pointed out earlier that he looks practically Zombified.

Anyone said who the white guys in front of the Doors are yet? My giess is Manic Street Preachers

Don't know about the guys in black carrying the guitar cases, Blues Brothers maybe?

I pointed out earlier that he looks practically Zombified.
You did and all! Sorry.

I'm still puzzled by what appears to be a box of smashed crayons.

Whoa.. I just checked out the Virgin site.. we're not seeing the far left of the picture.. I made out Cake and The Pet Shop Boys in that area!

I saw that, but when you click on to download the wallpaper they cut that part out for some reason.

Are those a couple of Black Crowes on the main street sign?

We spent a day & a half at work trying to work out all of them. I say "Virgin, put one of these out each week!". :D

You had to have seen the sex pistols, come on.

50. tATu (or KISS) (the girls kissing underneath Whitesnake)

63. Toy Dolls (blowup doll in the window above the Postal Service)

65. Men At Work (on the rooftop, above Crowded House)

- much snippage -


Great post, thanks!

I'm not really sure about the three above, though. Not that I have a better idea, mind you, just bitching, really ;)

50.: I don't think it can be tATu, because then the pic would describe what the band is known for doing, whereas in all the other cases, the pic describes the name of the band. So KISS would indeed seem to be the better choice - except I think it might be important to the solution that it's two women kissing (and feeling each other up, I might add)

63. If they meant Toy Dolls, wouldn't they have painted, well, toy dolls? Blow-up dolls may be sex toys, but they don't exactly qualify as "toy dolls", do they? Plus, it's only one of them, not plural.

65. I have no idea what those guys are doing up there, but it sure doesn't look like they're working :confused:

Yeah, very helpful, I know.:rolleyes:


BTW: I think it's definitely Blind Melon, not Melonheads - for one, it's only one of them (that is supposed to be "head/face"), and also, hello, the big black glasses? ;)

The Rolling Boulders?! Must be a new band.

As for your other questions:

U2 -Of course

Pink Floyd -.........
Dead Kennedys- Cool
Blur - The blurred man on the right behind the fruit-Yep
Queen & Prince-it is kind of cheating really...
I have heard of a pineapple thing......

Seal

the mail man is the band, The Postal Service
teh three girls skipping might be the GO-GOs?

Those posters on the wall on the left, are they American presidents by chance? Can anyone tell? I'm sure I recognise those faces as such.

That would be the presidents of the USA if someone can confirm..

I'm surprised no one mentioned Traffic yet.
If we're going to have the Streets, then we'd might as well have the Faces, too, since there are a lot of people with faces.

And then there's The Crown and Can.
The blow up doll could be Bikini Kill. The goldfish could be Goldie.

I can't figure out the green things between Queen and Prince, or the cards of various colors behind the Manic Street Preachers.
