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?

1-7 = Blondie
2-3 = Kraftwerk?
2-4 = B-52's
2-6 = Springsteen?
3-2 = Milli Vanilli
4-1 = Go-Go's
4-7 = Hall & Goats
5-4 = Duran Duran
6-5 = Devo

I know I'm gonna laugh my ass off when I hear some of the others. Great stuff!

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.

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

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

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.
