Row 4 #6 = Danny Elfman (in Oingo Boingo mode)

And I would never have got that.

I think I have names for all of them except (from the bottom up, left to right) -

Row 2: 3 and 7 (got these two now although I'm not 100% convinced about #7)
Row 5: 5 and 7
Row 6: 3

Row 2 #3 = bloke from Thomson Twins, #6 = Trevor Horn

The others you mention I would never have got, having looked up the answers - there's a handful of others similar.

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?

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.

I'll take your word for it. I've just done a Google image search and I can't see the similarity myself.

I know what you mean - I've just seen the artist's website though, search for Matthew Lineham. Full answers there.

Thanks.

By myself I got 77/100 (did get 10 wrong that I though I knew).

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

I think another fun game (you already covered Andy Partridge in this respect) is "find the photo that he copied for the print".

Excellent, there's only 95 of them - which possibly means you got a higher proportion correct

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).

Was anyone else as disappointed as I was when they discovered that "Limahl" is just an anagram of his real surname "Hamill"? 😂

74/95 which ones are you stuck on?

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]

OK - next question: how many of them are bass players? I make it 6/7.

[toneknob]

Is the "maybe" Kate Bush?

[Barking Spiders]

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.

Row 8, #1 = Tracey Ullman or Sheena Easton?

 

I wondered if it was Hazel Dean next to Midge?

Yeah, like @toneknob says, that's Aimee in 'Til Tuesday mode...

[TrevorR]

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...

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...
