And my brother-in-law looked at the picture as I was going over it at his house, and then the list we had, he is into blues music, he said how about the "Blues Brothers", for the two guys in black and carrying the guitar cases, yes they are a band, although John Belushi is long gone, Dan Aykroyd keeps the band going.

That was one of my iffy choices. Trouble is that they didn't look particularly like Belushi & Aykroyd. Besides, they are supposed to be clues to the name not a representation of the name.

Possibly, but I don't think they played guitar in the movie. Alternately, it could be "The Killers"....

I have to post this up as I've just seen this name referenced on a 1985 edition of Top of the Pops!

Between 50 Cent and Dinosaur Jr by the flower stall on the left are The Roots. Nope, me neither but apparently they are an American hip hop band, formed in 1987 by Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson in Philadelphia. So, now you know.

The guy collecting from the mailbox next to the coin - obviously am employee of THE POSTAL SERVICE!

Apparently there was a call from the actual US Postal Service for them to desist using the name, but after negotiations they were allowed to continue using it in exchange for some promotional stuff by the band.

Only found by trawling discogs again and not totally convinced it's correct but the three ladies escaping the rolling stones might be The Runaways? Joan Jett of 'I Love Rock and Roll' fame was in the band. Doesn't explain the disco outfits though.

Have got a couple alternatives for already given answers but they can wait.

There are a lot of creatures around the picture - taken together could they be The Animals? (House of the Rising Sun fame)

Anyone got any ideas for the chap on the roof of the purple building by the left hand gorilla? It looks like a bloke in a top hat & a cape holding a violin to me.

Having enlarged the image, I can't make out what is below the gorilla on top of the purple building, TBH it looks like some car keys. However, to the right of the yellow man, there's an advert in what looks like a bus stop which is displaying a shark. "Sharks", were a UK band formed in 1972 by ex Free bass player, Andy Fraser...

Is it not an unfortunate soul who's been plucked from the street by the gorilla?

I can't see anything there except some colouring or shading of the gorilla's fur. I think that the Jpeg rendering is making people think something's there that isn't.

Ha! Another one scratched off my list. However I had plumped for the English punk rock band from Leamington Spa formed in 2007 consisting of James Mattock (lead vocals and guitar), Andrew Bayliss (guitar), Sam Lister (drums), and Carl Murrihy (bass).

Another thought. As we're now getting creative perhaps we should add The Shadows to the list as has already been suggested? I think at the time it might have been considered too esoteric.

Possibly, but more likely a smudged stock photo of him holding Fay Wray. Plenty to choose from, but this one gives you an idea. (This could be one from the KK remake.)

Incidentally, there is (or was) a Welsh New Wave band called Fay Ray :-rofl2
