Good get. Looking at that headgear all I could think of was Ickle Pickle from In The Night Garden

As per a previous post from you, I also thought H2 was Freddy but then retracted, I thought he'd be a monty to make the list.

He was stumping me but I'd be happy to think you're on the money.

Come to think of it, could he also be Joe Jackson?

Possibly Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays?

I think Joe Jackson is G10
Edit: Just seen the updated list and G10 previously ID'ed as Jimmy Sommerville. Still don't think H7 is JJ though.

Reckon G10 is Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat).

A4: Simon Le Bon. Or did we acknowledge him elsewhere?
D1 & D2 I think would be in the same band (Fisher Z perhaps???)
E3: Nik Kershaw???
E7: Dude from a-ha???
E9: Kim Wilde perhaps??

I did a search on the image and found the source which gives the names. Bad form to post answers afterward though!

Yes, the image is a print you can buy from a New York artist. That's his signature in the bottom right. The artists in the print are listed on his webpage. I haven't looked at the list yet; I didn't want to ruin the fun. I was going to post a link to the site once this thread has cooled down.

I have no intention of spoiling your quiz either, Pseudo. I did a search because I was curious as to the ID of one particular artist. I have not posted any answers since. Google is the scourge of quizmasters but so long as people act with respect toward others' fun, all good.

Do you have a rough percentage of how accurate we are so far?

Thanks mate, it was an entertaining exercise, one that I think I'll print off and share with others.

I liked our coding system (well done @Magellan)
