Just in time for Christmas, ChopShop have released the third and final installment in the Rock Series Tshirts (In case you missed it, here's one and two). This one's extra cool as not only are there 31 pop, alt and rock stars from the years 1980-89, there are also 16 videos on the screens to figure for a bonus.
And as before, we have one T shirt to give away to a YBNBY reader...
Here's a bigger numbered version of the image. All we have to do is put names to silhouettes. The person who contributes most, in my opinion, will get the shirt. That could be the person who contributes the most names, or it could just be the person who gets the hardest figure. I'm totally biassed, so don't expect fairness.
Have at it. You can click the image below for an even bigger version. And even if you don't win, these make very cool Xmas presents. I have both the robots and aliens shirts (glow in the dark, no less) and get comments on them all the time.

8 = Cyndi Lauper
4 = Madonna
and is 10 = Tina Turner?
15 = David Lee Roth (from the Jump video)
Also, the video under 25 looks like the moonman intro from MTV when that started
2 = Boy George/Culture Club
5 = Michael Jackson
10 = Tina Turner (agree w/sarcastic one)
13 = Eurythmics (Sweet Dreams are Made of This)
14 = U2/Bono
19 = B-52's (that's gotta be a beehive)
25 = Prince
23 = Stray Cats
21 = The Cure (?)
12 = looks like that chick from Men Without Hats video
17 = The TV screen looks like a reference to Ratt, is that the character as well?
22 = has gotta be Billy Squier from the Rock Me Tonight video
19 = Pat Benatar? (the B-52s girls wore more skirts from what I remember--that looks like a Pat Benatar (or maybe Joan Jett) wide 80s belt)
Scara, you had to choose an addictive contest on a day when I need to write two final exams...ugghh!
Awesome! You're right SO, this stuff is like crack...
Anyhoo:
6 - Rob Hyman from The Hooters
1 - David Byrne from Talking Heads during his big ass suit phase. Anyone else see this, it's kind of a stab...
16 - Glenn Danzig of the Misfits
23 - Sting from Every Move You Make video.
27 - Billy Idol
My additional guesses would be:
18 Might be Shakin' Stevens
21 Robert Smith (The Cure)
22 Jon Bon Jovi
26 Terence Trent d'Arby
28 Looks like Elvis, so could very well be Nick Kamen
As for the TV screens:
The one behind 31 is Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love
The one behind 5 I think is ZZ Top - Gimme all your Lovin'
The one below 25 looks like Rammstein, but that's not from the eighties.
And I'm pretty sure Rick Astley isn't in this picture :-)
Okay, I'm not trying to win this--but I had to ask if, and where, Springsteen is (or was he on the 70s shirt?). The mid 80s were kind of big for him, but I can't figure out where he is. (I'd recognize his butt if that was the silhouette though)
oops--just re-read the 70s post. Springsteen was on there and there are no repeats.
Is number 11 a chic or a heavy metal dude? What yall think?
SO, Bruce kind of spans the 70s and 80s. Hell, he's still out there now, but yeah, he kind of did own the mid 80's.
12 - Stevie Nicks ? (that's her style of dress no? If I could make out a black shawl I'd know it was her.)
30 & 31 are Paul Simon and Chevy Chase from You Can Call Me Al?
okay. as usual. i say whats wrong only and only discussing what figures. we can do videos separately.
no: stray cats, ratt, squier, astley, benetar, jett, hooters, shakin stevens?, dArby, jovi, elvis (c'mon people, generation), kamen, nicks (see 70s), simon (see 70s) and definitely no 3rd party things like the chick from the safety dance video.
a few of the videos mentioned so far are right and a few guessed wrong ARE in the videos.
i almost added springsteen, but felt his critical period was the 70s with things like Born to Run.
No Hooters. Well, that instrument looks like what they played.... Who the hell else...
6 - El DeBarge
el debarge… you are funny.
that is a keytar not a hooter. hooters is a food chain.
'To the beat of the rythym of the night. We can dance until the morning light. Oh!'
Only person ever to make Michael Jackson seem macho by comparison.
24 - Eddie Money
26 - Michael Hutchence from INXS
12 - is driving me nuts. How many dress wearing acts where there like that? Dance style is distinctive too. I assume it's a chick but you never know.
no. never eddie money. never.
inxs was going to be in here, but i ran out of room. so was echo and the bunneymen.
hints:
#12 is british.
#29 is more famous today, but not for pop music
#7, 9, 30 and 31 think more garage band
30 - D. Boon of the MinuteMen
29 - Ricky Gervais
12 - Elizabeth Fraser
12 might be Kate Bush then.
e: if 30 then so 31...
29 is still music, just not pop or rock today. but he was in the 80's. college rock.
no: fraser
Where's Tim when you need him?
31 - Mike Watt
SO, yea wonder what happened to Tim, he rocked the last one.
26 - Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode

Fishbone
Thelonious Monster

The one behind 31 is Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love

see the 70's one for Mr. Waits.
no: moore
#18 is mis-appropriated
hints:
#18 is the only one to appear on another rocker tee
#28 was in a band from england
nobody on juls list is on here… i have to say i was going to add Andy Partridge of XTC as a selfish addition.
err... #18 is alvin stardust?
then #28 is morrissey?
no: kershaw, stardust
i will never tell you one is kershaw.
on VIDEO SCREEN:
all right except for #12
18 - Elvis Costello
18 is not elvis costello.
7 - Bobby Mould
18 - David Bowie
E - #18 looks like Bowie during serious moonlight tour. Could be a screen capture of modern love music video.
Hello folks,
i like "E" he is like me or our former
"Fußballnationaltrainer" Berti "the terrier" Vogts. ;-)
And i like juls for #12 in the screens "Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime"
i swear it is correct but Mr. chopshop here ...
but Nena at three? I hit you with red balloons. :)
And #07 is absolutly solvable, i did'nt figure it out, but i bite myself in ... as i hear the solution.
At this point Im stumped. I think a couple of them I might be 'damn I shoulda known' but a couple of the others I might just not know too well.
hurrah. the last two are fine… fine additions to this thread.
so if morrissey is not 18… then…
Videoscreen

the truth is i don’t know who any of those icons are supposed to be.
wouldn’t that be a great gag?
Very Kaiser Souze.
Damn, I missed this contest.
I guess I'll take a look at what's left ... not that I have any shot of getting them.
6 - Jan Hammer
11 - Sheila E.
Video 12: George Michael - Careless Whisper
I can't even make out what's going on for video 3 or 7.
Video 3 looks like some sort of pyrotechnics or UFO.
Video 7 looks like a large ball or something.
My monitor sucks ... video 3 is almost totally black to me.
Damn Tim, I think you got it with Sheila E. Don't know about Jan Hammer but it certainly could be him.
The vids are a little small for me to make out anything, though I can see the Moon Man.
'I want my MTV!' Well, I did once.
E - The funny thing is, I ended up figuring out the two videos that I was looking at, and came up with Twisted Sister and Steve Miller Band. When I went to write them up, I realized that I must have been looking at the wrong videos all along since they were already listed as correct answers under different numbers. Obviously, I don't understand that numbering scheme for the videos ... but I think that I know which two are still in question now. The one next to sihouette 13 and the lower one next to silhouette 7. Right?
As far as Jan Hammer is concerned, he wrote the theme for Miami Vice. Although I didn't rewatch the video, I think that the image might be from there.
Looks like the band packed up and went home for the holidays. Sorry I was late to the gig, mates.
11- Siouxsie Sioux
