Did you get Scissor sisters? Big in UK,dunno if they are in US
But I gave up,my eyesight is too shot these days and I can't see the stuff at the back

And probably I won't have heard of half of them
Fun though.

Do you know if there is any page with the answers somewhere?
Are the Counting Crows there? Are there only Virgin labelled artists there?

Right now giving it a quick look I get:
Scissor Sisters
Alice in Chains
Gorillaz
Rolling Stones
The Eels
The Eagles
Smashing Pumpkins
Matchbox 20
Led Zeppelin
Guns & Roses
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Spoon
The Postal Service
Black Crows (Are those crows on the street-sign to the right?)
Iron Maiden
Dead Kennedys
Seal (He's not a band... but maybe it counts?)
The Police
The Blues Brothers
Whitesnake
The White Stripes
Cornershop
The Cars
Garbage
(With a bit of ingenuity you could maybe see Bloc Party)
Beach Boys
(That could be Dinosaur Jr. between the queen with the guns and the cart of flowers)
Sex pistols >> The queen holding dildo pistols - genious!
The streets (well, there are streets in the picture...)
Things that are bound to be bands but that I just can't figure out
That yellow man standing on the corner
The blurry man
The smiling oranges
The cabbage with sunglasses
The bloody clown
The gymnast girls
The queen with the dildo pistols
The fairys
The guys on the roof
Those two airplanes
The two girls kissing on the corner
The woman in the wig blowing a bubble-gum bubble on the balcony
The two cowboys and the girl by the lamp-post
The three girls holding hands by the rolling stone
The shark poster by the yellow man
The guy with the boombox
The hole in the street
Those people in white with their hands up.

Very impressive Daniel and Puce!!
What about the goldfish Aquarium? That's what made me think of The counting Crows with their cover by Neil Gaiman.
Plus:
Lemonheads
Plus...err...well.

Well, I dunno if artists that aren't bands count.
I found another one: The B 52's... those are B52 bomber planes in the sky.
Hey! ... Isn't there a band called 'Pink Sky'? *goes to check*
Edit: There isn't. But I found another one!!! You see the watermelong with the sunglasses? Well, apparently there's a band called "Blind Melon".

Korn... you never see the really obvious ones.

Also:
2 black U:s painted on the wall = U2
By Matchbox 20 there is a bunch of sticks = Styx >> <b>Edit:</b> STRIKE THAT. They're not sticks, they're nine ich nails.
There's a calendar with a green day... and it's a wednesday so The Wednesdays should also count.
