New Wave Outpost Forum

I think these things are some of the coolest illustrations ever! You will be amazed at how uncanny some similarities are!

Can you tell who these 80s bands and solo artists are?

adding to the other posts…

1-3: The Smiths (are those gladiolas that the first figure is holding?)
3-3: The Police??
6-4: The Cure?? (or is that too many of them?)
6-7: Erasure

note: these are really bad guesses on my part [:p]

Is it possible to see the photo larger - kind of hard on the eyes?

I had the same thought cementkite, but then I realized that this is the point of the pics - they're supposed to be tiny. It is pretty hard on the eyes isn't it?

Oh my God KYYX - you're killing me here - I need those answers!!!!![:D]

What?! Are you kidding?? Smiths and Cure...excellent guesses! Which one are U2...half of them look like 'em. Oh, and I think that's the plants are in Morrissey's back pocket like he used do in concert sometimes. Second "Oh"...you're right, I'm looking at his Charming Man video where he's thrashing around some glads. Funny the stuff you never notice.

I think 3-4 is George Michael, not Bruuuce

I think you're right Schwenko

I think 5-7 is U2, Joshua Tree-era.

Is Row 7, 1st picture George Clinton?

At first I thought 7-1 was Prince, for some reason.

I'll post answers after we hear from some more of you ?

OK...how long 'til the answers??

Row 1-5 is A-ha
Row 6-7 is Erasure
Row 5-6 is Bananarama (I think)
Row 3-4 is George Michael

Man, I wish I had a bigger monitor. [:D]

Cool pics.
