No problem.

Actually, if I had to take a wild guess at no 13 I would have guessed 'Men at Work' who I think did that 'I come from the Land Down Under' sometime in the mid 80s. This some of the guys in the photo were wearing those baggy sleeveless tops that only Australians, rednecks and guys with bad mullets wear. These guys didn't look like rednecks or have particularly bad mullets (if I remember correctly), so I figure they're probably Australian. They weren't AC/DC, I don't think they were INXS and they definitely weren't Crowded House or Silverchair!

So I would guess they were Men at Work. I have no idea what they look like though, so this is a silly guess inspired by a weird string of logic.

If not, they might instead be Tears for Fears, who were from Scotland, but I guess could also have worn those funny outfits. The guy just to left of centre in the photo looked vaguely like the lead singer and it seemed he was the one you were supposed to focus on in the photo, judging by his expression.
