who are these bands
 

Can anyone tell me who the attached bands might be. We are completing a little test and we have 270 of them to work out I am hoping to post some of the ones we are stuck on on here.

If anyone can help it would be really appreciated.

Kind Regards

Jodi

dunno dude

Still Looking
 

Thanks, maybe someone else might have some idea?????

Regards

Jodi

Hi,

I think I might know 3 of them. The numbers I've written are the jpg numbers on the files. Its difficult to tell at the moment though, because the pictures were very small.

3 - Transvision Vamp
8 - Texas (I think it Sharleen Spiteri, the lead singer, with the black hair at the front. Search the web for her to see if you agree.)
12 - Sparks (I'm sure about this one)
13 - I have no idea about this one. They are most likely a band from the mid 80's though, as this is I think when the other photographs would have been taken.

Hope that helps. Please nobody give me hassle for this knowledge of 80's musicians. I've watched VH1 a few times and happen to have an extremely good memory for faces.

Why did somebody reply to say they didn't know? You is a crazy man!

But I like your style.

Amazing stuff
 

Thanks heaps for the reply - the 3 you thought you knew were right. Cant believe I did not recognise transmission vamp.

I have some more to check on - will post them later.

Thanks once again. Attachment 13 is still a mystery though.

Jodi

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.

Actually, no I don't know. I just looked at the photo again and have no idea.

No not men at work have tried it - but have some more
 

I have some more that I am hopeing someone might be able to help me with.

Regards

Jodi

And a couple more - lol
 

Hope someone can help with these too!

No 27 is probably Simple Minds
No 29 might be Fairground Attraction (featuring Eddie Redder)

Also

19 - Don't Know
21 - The Jam
22 - The Style Council
23 - I can't even see this picture!
26 - The So Solid Crew?

For no. 19, there were lots of bands around during the 80's that had a slightly ginger frontwoman and the picture is so out of focus that it could be any of them. Likewise for no. 23 - its somebody who's a bit fat, wears glasses and is out of focus.

thanks heaps
 

Thanks don't run me over so much for your help.

Yes 21 and 22 were right, i also have not idea about 23. 26 also correct but 19 and 29 still a problem. 27 is not simple minds, i tried it and it said it was incorrect..

I have some more to post too.

If you get sick of this it is ok. We have 270 to get in total and have about 80 that we are stuck on so as well as searching we are posting some of the pics on different sites. Believe it or not this is all in the aid of a 'bet' for a couple of drinks. lol

Thanks heaps once again.

Jodi

Hello anyone out there?
 

Hi All

No one seems to have been able to shed any light on any more of my pictures.

Is there anyone out there who might know any more of them.

Thanks in advance.

Jodi

ME AGAIN!

42 - Busted
45- Wet Wet Wet
51 - Led Zeppelin

This time I have no idea who the others are.

Sorry, 29 was Simple Minds, 27 might be Fairground Attraction.

spot on!
 

yes swapped fairground attraction around and they both worked. You are very good at this.

Still stuck on 13, 23, 33 and 50, maybe someone might read this and know who they are.

For your info 19 ended up being t'pau.

Have posted a few more if you have time.

Thanks so much for all of your help.

I don't know the names of the bands. But I wanna know why you wana know their names?

[QUOTE=jodilees]yes swapped fairground attraction around and they both worked. You are very good at this.[QUOTE]
Thanks. I doubt that its a marketable skill. Don't read anything into it about my taste in music. Its just a very good visual memory at work!

70 - MUD
73 - Ocean Colour Scene
88 - The Eagles

No. 55 look somehow familiar. I'm certain I haven't seen 82 anywhere before. Keep them coming!

73 and 88 were right, but 70 is not mud. Any other suggestions? lol

Jodi

theres drinks and bets involved
 

Hi Cynthia

A friend has challenged me to drinks for who can work the most of the bands out from an excel spread sheet of photos that we have.

So far we are up to 190 approx of 270. He is up to 224 but started 2 weeks before us.

If you happen to see any that look familiar any help would be great.

Kind Regards
Jodi

We got 19 in the end it was T'Pau for your information incase anyone ever asks you again. lol

Ok here is 5 more for you to toy with.

Thanks heaps, if you want a challenge I can email you the whole file if you like.

Jodi

is there anyone out there that can shed any more light on any of the above???

Thanks in advance.

Jodi

82= the stranglers.

Jesus H. Christ! No. 99 looks like Angie (Anita Dobson) from BBC's Arse-enders (I mean Eastenders!).

Terrifying!!! :yikes:

Edit. My wife thinks;

42 = Busted.
45 = Wet Wet Wet.
50 = Pink Floyd.
51 = Led Zep.
55 = The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (he sang 'Fire').
70 = The Kinks. (thats my guess).

Im positive that No. 55 is Cream back in the 60s.

thanks heaps Right Track and Boo Boo!!!!!

55 was cream but your wife did very well with the rest Right Track

The following are still unresolved.
13
23
33
79
82
99

Any further input would be great. There are 270 of these pics and we have 50 to go.

Thanks in advance, I will post some more.

Jodi
