Actually they are; they’re right there in the centre of the pic. But how many other bands are cunningly represented? Let’s catch ’em all!

I’ll start with Blind Melon and Atomic Kitten.
Bad Boys Ink….
tee hee
That’s Dire Straits on the telly, Men At Work below it, a Bony M on the floor, The Scorpions, Hot Chocolate and Black Keys nearby…
More accurately Dire Straits are on the Television. But they missed that.
Yes, tried Television myself and was a little surprised it was not a correct answer.
Black Crowes, Take That, Led Zeppelin, Eels.
The Disciples and The Wanted are on the bookshelves.
So are James, but not on the list.
The Scorpions, The Beatles and Ash on the carpet. Guns & Roses on the chair.
5 Star and Lipstick on the lamp. Men At Work (sign below telly).
Also Maroon 5 on the other lamp.
The White Stripes and Blind Melon (chair), The Doves (wall), One Direction (sign).
Already got Blind Melon.
Oops, so you did. The Decemberists on the calendar.
And Vampire Weekend!
But why is one of the days in the calendar highlighted.
I wish I knew, I can’t make out which day it is.
Any who are the band in the calendar’s photo?
Green Day!
Phew! Thanks LB.
Nine Inch Nails (carpet).
The Police (helmet), The Doors.
Garbage, Queen, Guns n Roses, The Bangles, Television, A Flock of Seagulls, is that Kiss on the lampshade? There’s a bottle of Poison on the drinks trolley and a Red Hot Chilli Pepper plant on the sideboard.
No, Television aren’t one of the bands.
For me, they were the obvious one, but my guess was rejected.
Nirvana (sticker on sofa)
U2 (graffiti on Led Zep 4 picture)
China Crisis (broken mug on floor)
A-HA (Take On Me cartoon on wall)
The Corrs (half-eaten apples on bookshelf)
The Rolling Stones (tongue sticker on box in cabinet)
Salt’n’Pepa (cruet set just above Stones sticker)
The Jam (pot on coffee table)
Bread (slice on sofa)
Wham! (bar on arm of chair)
The Monkees (on top of the TV)
T Rex or Dinosaur Jr (next to TV)
…any more and I’ll have to add them in a reply to this.
Black Eyed Peas (on paper on coffee table)
Pearl Jam (just noticed the little white blurry thing next to the pot)
Genesis (Holy Bible, Chapter 1 in bookshelf)
Alice in Chains (red book on shelf)
Oasis (bottle on drinks trolley)
Bucks Fizz (another bottle on drinks trolley)
Cream (pot by lamp on left of picture)
Starship (Enterprise)
…that’s all from me!
Modest Mouse (half under the sofa)
…ok, just one more 😁
Addictive, isn’t it 🙂
Totally. But I give up now. Not just the guinea pigs, but the woman on the TV, the two angels by the ceiling, the saints in the picture on the right, the lift sign next to it, the Christmas wreath, the radio, the 40th birthday card, the odd-shaped clock, the wooden gorilla, the reward poster, the group photo in the calendar, the Ace of Spades (surely not Motörhead?), the toolbox, the weird white thing above it, the single knife, the pink shoes, the pile of ‘food’ on the coffee table, the white triangle just above it, the paw prints, the other stickers on the sofa, the smartphone against the lamp base, aaaaaand the two hands at the bottom and right of the picture.
*breathes out*
I’m walking away now!
Def Leppard (I’ve just noticed the animal head on the floor has earplugs in)
Could the angels be Little Angels?
The “angels” look more like fairies, and one is near the smoke detector. The Smoke Fairies? Or too tenuous?
Pixies.
Ah!
Alice in Chains and Genesis (Holy Bible Chapter 1) on the bookshelf.
Edit: Oops! Just saw Sal’s post above.
Mount Rushmore sticker on the sofa.
What the heck are the Guinea pigs meant to represent?
The Cranberries on the floor.
Bah, it’s NOT Dinosaur Jr.
Erasure! (eraser on the sofa)
Level 42! (the lift)
Pile of food is ‘Wings’
All That Jazz book is ‘Chicago’
‘Black Grape’ on the floor by the cranberries.
Mount Rushmore is’ Presidents of the United States of America’.
Highlight on calendar is ‘Green Day’
The Last Shadow Puppets!
On edit: I plugged it in and it’s not, it’s The Shadows.
Ooh, just saw the “guess” thing!
Fairies are not Smoke Fairies.
Zombies, Ratt, UB40, Gorillaz
Am I the only one who finds this difficult to see properly? Garbage could also be Sack. Do four seagulls make a flock? Would they be so gittish that the “prints” on the floor represent Prince?
Squeeze (the orange-holding hand)
Colour of chair is Deep Purple.
I thought that one was the Mt Rushmore pic
I think that was the Presidents of the United States of America.
Can’t see that anyone has mentioned the rather obvious Eels. Are the lady signs with the red diagonal supposed to be Boyzone? Is the painting on the wall All Saints?
Eels have already been spotted.
The Eagles (on side of sofa)
The Cardigans
Great minds think (almost) alike…
I’d say The Cardigans if it wasn’t just one, so Jumper?
I’m using the guess feature now to check. Cardigans was accepted. And Busted (presumably for the broken cup).
No, I just remembered that Jumper was a small Swedish indie band, so probably wouldn’t feature in this quiz! 🙂
The shoes annoy me. Is there a brand called Floyd’s perchance? Then we could have Pink Floyd…
Just checked, computer says No.
Nu Shooz?
Nope, not accepted 🙁
Well, the “Call me” sticker is Blondie.
Europe (the book).
The Bangles (on the side table).
Some more – I’ve entered all the names so far, and have a score of 80!
Blue (Pantone)
Linkin Park (white triangle above chicken wings)
My Chemical Romance (cross ticker on sofa)
Radiohead (presumably the radio – this was a lucky guess)
The Knife (who knew?)
The Wanted (cowboy picture – googled from names)
I only have 69! Unfair!
ok, gone thru above and am on 80.
The crows are numbered so – Counting Crows. My other observation is that the dude in the Dire Straits video is a ringer for Bernard from Westworld..
Nsync (correct guess – maybe the band in the photo?)
yes – google image confirms that
Suede (but I dunno why).
The pink suede shoes, I think.

You’ve left out All Saints and Prince. I demand satisfaction!
Prince not there. I left off All Saints and The Script.
= 87 so far.
And Steps (leaning against the bookshelf) makes 88.
Def Leppard (the rug) = 89.
Iron Maiden (the yellow face near the Rolling Stones tongue, apparently).
= 90
New York Dolls (doll on top of telly).
= 91
Which clues remain unsolved? Those cream books have been puzzling me…
The weird shaped clock is confusing me. And the poker thingy leaning against the chair. And the 40 fabulous ticket by the wreath. And the wreath.
Poker is a wand. It’s Wizzard!
Excellent! 92!
UB40 – and the wreath is, I think, Reef
Reef! Just tried and it’s there!
Also those potatoes…
And the guinea pigs…
They’re not potatoes – they’re Lemonheads! 93!
I’ve only just noticed that one of the birds has ‘7’ on it chest….
I think that’s a Counting Crows reference.
Doh!
hmm, what other white rock or pop groups are there?
Marmalade on the trolley.
Reef and Marmalade – good calls! That makes 95. Anyone got any ideas re the odd clock?
For the love of god, what are the Guinea pigs about?!!
Are they the Super Furry Animals?
YES!!!
(To think I was on Wikipedia, reading all about Guinea pigs.)
Can I just say that I think of guinea pigs as hairy rather than furry? I demand a steward’s enquiry.
Some clues:
The birthday card. (it’s not The Birthday Party or Altered Images) (on edit: I am an idiot, it was UB40, thanks Mini!)
The half-eaten cupcake
The cream-coloured books
The cushion on the floor
The medal hanging off the table
The newspaper or magazine (it’s not Magazine)
The funny-shaped clock. (it’s not The Funny-Shaped Clock Five)
I think the birthday card is UB40.
A UB40 used to be the nearest thing to a birthday card I would get.
(one for the young folks)
The half-eaten cupcake is simply Cake. I’ve just tried it, yummy.
What about the hand squeezing the, er, ball? (Stoppit.)
That’s Squeeze.
Ah, thank you.
I’ve now got 95.

What are the emojis? I’ve tried the Faces, but it was rejected, as were the Small Faces.
Them’s not emojis, them’s Lemonheads.
D’oh.
The gold medallion on the table?
It’s not Medal, anyway.
It’s Athlete!
Yay! Only two to get.
So…
The cream-coloured books
The cushion on the floor
The medal hanging off the table
The newspaper or magazine (it’s not Magazine)
The funny-shaped clock. (it’s not The Funny-Shaped Clock Five)
See above for the medal.
I think the cream coloured books might not be anything.
There’s a book called Texas Quail Rigs, which are apparently a kind of vehicle. Hmm….
I tried inputting Motorhead and it was accepted.
Think that’s the Ace of Spades on the shelf below the telly…
Yeah, that’s why I tried it, even though it’s a pretty clumsy representation.
I thought that too. Bit woolly.
That’s 99 then!
On edit: no, it’s not, it’s 98.
Yep, 98. Surely the last one must be the clock? Come on Afterworders! You’re all that’s standing between me and 250 quid! You’re about as much use as a bunch of civilians!
I just “cheated” and used the “share and we’ll give you an answer”, which of course anyone else can now do as we’re down to the last outstanding band.
If you want a clue….
(if you don’t then stop reading here!)
……I don’t think it’s anything to do with the clock, I think it’s related to one of the books.
Lordy, that was a lot easier than I’d been thinking. I wonder why the odd shaped clock was there? A bizarre red herring. £250 soon on its way to me! Thanks Deviant!
I got it!
On its way to you? Waitaminute!!
Yep, thanks for that, Mini! I owe you.*
*Not literally.
You might as well tell us the last one then. I certainly can’t be arsed to put all those names in just to be in with a slim chance* of winning the draw.
*SWIDT
Texas.
Really? That’s rubbish, isn’t it? I bet the AW could come up with a better puzzle. If we could be arsed.
Or is it the bronze hand coming up from the floor?
I think that belongs to one of The Zombies.
There’s four images that I think are still unaccounted for:
1. something on the middle shelf of the sideboard above what I think is a toolbox. What is it?
2. The cream colored books.
3. What looks like a pickle or a slug on top of the newspaper on the coffee table.
4. The clock on the wall.
One of them must be something because we’ve only got one more to get.
No, it’s one of the books.
The “pickle or slug thing” is the Black Eyed Peas.
Oh, that’s what it was? Thanks!
I think the cream coloured books are irrelevant, and that they’re just there as a space-filler, hence the lack of titles. But what does the book called Texas Quail Rigs mean?
Easier than it looks, Mini. Don’t over think it.
You beauty, I’ve got it! Those vouchers are winging their way to Leicestershire.
(Mini, do you want the answer? It’s kind of staring you in the face.)
Mind you, it won’t let me submit my answer.
It’s okay, Gary posted it upthread. But thanks.
I’ve made so many mistakes on this thread. 🙁
The thing above the toolbox is a cupcake. Hence “Cake”. (No, me neither.)
Cake’s moment of glory:
