I can't get any. I was proud for seeing Alice in Chains, but you already had it. :)

This is addictive, Nell! I can't see some of them--am I blind or are some parts of the image intentionally hazy, even under the magnifying glass?

Here's what I've come up with so far:

1. The Lemonheads (look in the produce cart in the right foreground)
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers (same place)
3. Little Bow Wow (the little dog in the left foreground)
4. Dinosaur Jr. (to the left of the queen)
5. White Zombie (the zombie covered in white flour? to the left side near the shops)
6. Pink (?) --the color of the sky
7. Twisted Sister? (the intertwined acrobats)
8. Korn (the corn)
9. Talking Heads (the heads in the televisions)
10. U2 (the two u's grafitti-ing the wall near the televisions)
11. Black Flag (self-explanatory)
12. The Scorpions (I only see one though)
13. The Sex Pistols (you might have gotten that one already but I can't remember)
14. The Stooges (?) as in Iggy Pop and the ... (the three heads on the wall near the U2--although I can't see well enough to be sure

I'm puzzled about the hill with the tree. I keep thinking One Tree Hill but that's a song by U2, not a band. I'll let you know if I get any more.

15. Hole (the pothole in the street)
16. Violent Femmes (the Queen and the prince themselves)
17. Crowded House (the people you can see through the windows)
18. Pavement (self-explanatory)
19. Styx (?) the pile of sticks near the Smashed Pumpkins
20. B52s (the planes)
21. The Runaways (the three women running from the Rolling Stone--although sort of obscure, but on the Dazed and Confused soundtrack)
22. The Doors (self-explanatory)
23. Jewel (the necklace?)
24. Lovin' Spoonful (?) or some other spoon-affiliated band
25. Modest Mouse ? If one of the creatures out there is a mouse

This is funny--I thought of one while trying to fall asleep last night! Is the calendar with one of the days colored in Green Day? :)
