And because it doesn't cost me anything but time and a bit of electrons, I'm trying to identify all the artists in the above ad from The Observer. Check the print images here. I'm putting the list in black, but you can always highlight it to get the answers. I successfully got 21 of the 26 (but now know the other five after checking the video comments) and feel pretty good about that.
- A - Abba
- B - Beatles
- C - Christina Aguilera
- D - Darkness (dunno them, had to check the comments to find this one)
- E - Eminem (really, don't get this one, comments told me who it was)
- F - Flaming Lips
- G - Guns 'n' Roses
- H - Har Mar Superstar (I have never heard of this guy. Thank heaven for Britain.)
- I - Ice-T
- J - The Jacksons (note the change in Michael's coloring)
- K - Kiss
- L - Led Zepplin
- M - Missy Elliott
- N - Nirvana
- O - Ozzy Osbourne
- P - Public Enemy

- R - Red Hot Chili Peppers
- S - Stevie Wonder

17 for 26. Really disappointed I didn't come up with I and W. The rest, probably not a shot in hell I'd have gotten them aside from C and M...I was leaning towards those two being right but didn't pull the trigger, so I'm not marking myself down for 19.
I never have understood why you like Boveraquarium the best of all of Socko's albums. Maybe its because I have seen them perform it live so often, but I still like Oh, I Do Hope Its Roast Beef best.
I like Bovaquarium because that's where I came in. That's what the band sounds like in my head - only it's supposed to have crappy echo because they're in the Fiji house at Wabash.
