Thanks! Tom Bailey. I actually saw the Thompson Twins in 1980 when they were still 4-piece indie guitar band. And not Trevor Horn, I meant the bloke next to him who I thought might be Geoff Downes?

toneknob Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Between Trev and Martin Fry? I had to look him up, the pic is making his chin a lot more beefy than reality. Clue: plays a Vox Teardrop, his band has a different name abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toneknob Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I know what you mean - I've just seen the artist's website though, search for Matthew Lineham. Full answers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not convinced by some of the likenesses and Aimee Mann certainly didn't look like that when I saw her in the 90s!

toneknob Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I think another fun game (you already covered Andy Partridge in this respect) is "find the photo that he copied for the print". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, there's only 95 of them - which possibly means you got a higher proportion correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Clare Grogan one when I was trying to work out which of the illustrations was her (the other possibility turned out to be Bellinda Carlisle).

Crusoe Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Was anyone else as disappointed as I was when they discovered that "Limahl" is just an anagram of his real surname "Hamill"? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two are particularly bugging me because they look familiar but I just can't put a name to an illustration. The tall guy roughly in the middle of the picture with shades and a grey coat, and the bloke with the long face two rows down and slightly to the right. nick cave?

BigRedX Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 OK - next question: how many of them are bass players? I make it 6/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Ha, got 25 and considering these are what I grew up on as a teen it makes me wonder what I was actually doing. Then again I don't think the artist had the likes of the members of The Chameleons, Comsat Angels or House of Love in mind when s/he did this pic.

TrevorR Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Row 2, #7 - Glen Gregory from Heaven 17, I presume... [EDIT] Ah, no.. there he is in row 5 - for certain! Still looks a bit like this era... Edited March 25, 2021 by TrevorR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking Robert Smith since he played a lot of Bass VI in the "Pornography" era Cure, but is not really know for being a bass player.

There were some rather unusual (IMO) choices, I certainly didn't recognise Robbie Grey, even though Modern English were one of my favourite bands of the early 80s...
