Exercise Your Music Muscle
(Click image to view full size)
Check out this cool picture - it’s a new advert of sorts (Part of some “exercise of your music muscle” idea) from Virgin Digital. Apparently there are 75 74 bands/artists represented in the image.
How many can you spot?
Update: I’ve just realised the image is missing about an inch from the left. Here’s the picture with this extra inch “glued on”.
Update: The answers.






We can get 33 bands, does anyone have the answers?!
I’ve got 40 so far. I think “Green Day” is probably my favourite so far.
I’ve got the 74 official answers, but there are certainly a lot more that I could have chosen that weren’t on the list. I’ll give it a while longer and I’ll post the list and comment the image on Flickr pointing out where they all are.
Thanks for the tip about the picture. I’ll look out for the answers. Would appreciate the nod when!
Cheers
Mark.
Is that “Styx” by matchbox 20? Ive found 74 confirmed others, though.
Would that be “Cypress Hill” or “Mountain”? And yes, Jake, it was Styx. Also, I can’t find Greenday, it must be pretty obvious seeing that most peep. have found it. Can sum 1 help me?
-Tom
Hello, i’ve found 47 bands and i killing myself to find the others. You will give the answer someday or we’ll have to discover by ourselves? Please give us the answer!!!!!!!!!
Surely that’s Nine Inch Nails next to Matchbox 20?
I can’t be smug of course, I’ve only found about 30 bands so far…
Tom and Jake - I believe they’re actually Nine Inch Nails over by matchbox twenty.
Tom - one word: “Calendar”. I hope that helps.
I will certainly reveal the list sometime next week, keep searching.

I would like to confess that I have entered a competition against my work collegues and I have acted ALONE in an attempt to cheat and run off with the prize! I am ashamed
Can someone please post the answers, this is driving me crazy, pretty cool, put I’m loosing it, this is a major task to complete. Help, where can I find the list of the 74 or 75 bands, I’ve got about 40-50, but I want them all!!!!!!
I’ve tried putting my answers into the competition thingy but it said that i only had 46 right and all my answers are the same as other peoples so i really don’t get it. Will you please publish the official list? PLEASE!
I’ve posted details on where I got the picture, the “official” verified list of answers and how I verified them all in a new post. Check it out.
ok… and offspring (August 2006 it’s not spring…);
Manic Streat Preachs (mans in whit preaching…); Oasis (that montain in the city is an oasis…); the subways ????
off spring…no its green day!!!
I’ve looked through and I don’t think that anyone has mentioned “the doors” multi coloured behind what I think is not “the cult” but is “manic street pretchers”.
Where’s this compition list that some people have been going on about?
Damian - see my ping below.
Some lateral thinking: Roots could be the VINES, Queen and Prince are clearly in a CLASH. Eagels could be WINGS or THE BYRDS. Gorillaz = THE MONKEES. The Hole = DARKNESS. The Cult = MANIC STREET PRECHERS or AMEN CORNER. Garbage = TRASH. Go-Gos = 3 NON BLONDES. Pixies = PINK FARIES. Eminem = SWEET. Lemonheads = SMALL FACES. Bee Gees/U2 = GRAFITI. Sex Pistols = BUZZCOCKS. And finally the whole picture = MADNESS !
Nice thinking - or the whole picture could be “Crazy Town”

What’s for the two pairs of scissors?
A couple of alternative suggestions - The Pink Faeries (Pixies), One Tree Hill (Cypress Hill), Those birds ain’t crows - try Guillemots, has anyone seen The News?, The guys on the roof are watching what’s going on - The Watchers………….oh & Pearl is sitting on the top of Queens crown.
Any help?
