Found this over on rateyourmusic.com. How many do you know?



Reckon I can name about 35-40 of them; not sure of a few.

Tangentially, doesn't new romantic fashion make you cringe just a little now?

Do you think bottom right is meant to be Madonna?

I know I wouldn't listen to half the shit they made, that's for sure.

I don't think so; the earrings to me don't seem to fit.

I reckon she's in the fifth row down, three from the left (next to Mick Jones). I reckon I can just see a gap in her front teeth.

Plenty of shit was recorded in the 80s, but its light years ahead of what's been passed off as pop music over the last ten years.

Music pretty much stopped in the 90's, slim pickings beyond the turn of the century.

Hell no. Nothing wrong with a bit of 80's.

Na. I had Bronski Beat and Frankie Goes To Hollywood cranking.

So did you hit that perfect beat and relax?

Yep, you're on the money.

Two ways you can approach this puzzle: (a) try to recognise the faces, or (b) think of an 80's pop star and see if you can find their face.

On the latter, I can't seem to locate Feargal Sharkey?

The closest to him would be second row from the top, second on the left with the gold skivvy, but that’s a stretch.

Yeah, he's probably the best candidate, but it's not 100%.
