I'm bored so I leafed this off of janie_tangerine and others!

Open your iTunes / Winamp player.
Put to shuffle mode.
Find pictures of the first 20 artists. If repeated, skip it.

Have your friends list guess the 20 artists.

PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME ON THIS. MY IPOD IS A CAVE OF SIN!

Wow, I only knew one of those!

You know, it occurs to me that if I saw some of my very favourite singers walking down the street, I would have no idea who they were. I just don't really know what any of them look like, even the ones I've seen in concert more than once! I guess I'd only recognise people with very distinct looks, or people that are all over television and stuff. And I don't mean MTV, because I haven't watched a music video in over 20 years :

Now, post links to some guitar riffs, or a few bars of singing or something, then we've got a game.

[slinkymilinky]

I'm with you hun! (although not on the riff thing because I'd be like 'what is this Morse code?' XD) I am terrible at famous faces. I guarantee that if I bumped into Misha Collins in my local supermarket I'd just say 'That guy looks a bit like Misha Collins' and I only recognise musicians by their album covers! :P

2. Echo & The Bunnymen
13. Kate Bush
18. Chris de Burgh (LOL, embarrassed to know that)

eta: 6 was bugging me so I cheated and did an image search. My hunch turned out to be correct, but who are the other two guys and why is Andy in the back? And I've totally dated myself, haven't I???

[slinkymilinky]

Check you out! *whispers* there is nothing wrong with Chris de Burgh *whispers*
-also, I think the other two in #6 came along later...I wasn't being much of a purist in my image search!
