*points out the fairly obvious guy Smashing Pumpkins*
Madness, the entire picture is just an enormous chaotic madness...
So, i submit Madness...
Well, I suppose those 2 guys in suits in the middle could be madness, but they could also, quite easily, be the blues brothers...
Hmmmm....
There's the Sex Pistols in the foreground. Look at the Queen.
There's a possible Pink Floyd on the extreme right.
Just above U2, there's Crowded House.
Is there a band called the B52's? Cos if so, they're right near Led Zeppelin.
I also see Garbage.
Zombie Nation on the extreme left.
Just spotted Seal, right next to Zombie Nation.
In the bottom right, that looks like it could possibly be Meat Loaf near the fruit stand.
Near U2. Do you suppose those cowboys are a reference to Texas?
More as I spot them.
Anybody mention Pink Revolver yet? ^^; Haven't really given the pic much of a look yet, but that one really jumped out at me.
And yes, there is a band called the B52's. 😀

My dad suggested those two in red and yellow crossing the street be the Twisted Sisters. 🙂
Phish (represented by the goldfish bowl).
Ratt (the giant rat).
Unsure: there is a band called Postal Service (recently in a lawsuit with the USPS over the name), mailman could be reference them.
Green Day (on the calendar on the fruit stand)
Don't forget Spoon! (the huge spoon on the right of the picture)
The Pixies (the three Fairies near the Virgin Digital thingie)
Matchbox 20 (the 20 on the ground near The Smashing Pumpkins it's made out of matchboxes)
Black Flag (near one of The Rolling Stones)
The Velvet Underground (the steps leading to the underground maybe)
Counting Crows (You have to squint, but it looks like there are two crows on the Main street sign)
Green Day (on the calendar on the fruit stand)
Damnit. I found that one too! :p
And also: Beach Boys (The kids with the surfboard gear).
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (At the verrrry edge of the pic, there are very red peppers on the fruit stand).
One Eyed Peas (The peas on the ground).
Peter Gabriel (A maybe, but the guy smashing the pumpkins is using a sledgehammer....?)
"50 Cent behind the queen" (Yes, that is a 50 Cent piece).
I can't beleive not ONE of you found Nine Inch Nails yet!
(Just to the left of the 20 and the M&M's)
I saw them, but did not know what they were for. :p
BTW, I went to the Virgin site and found that this isn't the complete picture.
As you can see, the Pet Shop Boys ARE on there, as are some others (like the Monkees, perhaps?).
Jet - The jet planes. Dur.
Could the two girls making out by the street lights reference T.A.T.U?
Could the two girls making out by the street lights reference T.A.T.U?
Most likely. I can't think of any other band or artist it could represent. Oh, and it's t.A.T.u
Hmm... I can't find any that haven't already been listed. :[

If you're referring to the original picture posted in this thread, that's the B-52s. Dur.
White Zombie-the guy...all white and undead looking next to the seal poster.
Blind Melon-just above the red hot chili peppers, the watermelon in sunglasses.
Postmen-the postman next to the mailbox.
the guys with the guitar cases--Men Without Hats, maybe?
