    So far I’ve got about 21. Some of the pictures are hard to figure out what band they could be. Here are few fun ones… Dead Kennedy’s, Blind Melon,
    Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cake and don’t forget good ol’ Skinny Puppy! What is the Goldfish in the bowl?

    i always thought smashing pumpkins should’ve done a tribute to pink floyd’s “a nice pair”. my thought was that the band name was more of “my, she’s got smashing pumpkins!” than actually battering gourds.

More where that came from, depending on how far we want to stretch it and if we want to use your second-cousin’s next-door-neighbor’s ex-brother-in-law’s stepson’s garage band in this game.
