5: Despite the early-21st-century nature of the photo,carneggy still spotted Nine Inch Nails. (I chose this pic because Trent sort of fades into the background, in it, despite being front and center)
6:lnghnds knows what I might have on my iPod rather well: this is Yoko Kanno, who does anime soundtracks.

10: Whileandstillitmoves knew who this was first, I don't even wanna know why ajpursell called this fellow Rufus 'watersports' Wainwright. No, I don't. Wait, what?

12: This is Elvis Costello.dybbuk67 knew it.

15:incorpore TECHNICALLY guessed this was someone doing a spot-on imitation of Joy Division. But who could do a better impression of Joy Division than Joy Division?

8 is talking heads.
More to come as I ponder them
Hint: there are only 3 artists in here who haven't charted an album into the top-30.
oh boy oh boy! this is gonna be baaaaaaad
2) Marc Almond doing a Dave Gahan impression, or vice versa
3) eh, Madness, 25 years on?
4) uhm, maybe the Who. or the Rolling Stones?
*4a) can you tell I'm not using Google to cheat?
5) er, some mid 2000's "we sound like Joy Division" band?
6) no idea
7) Liberace, after the fundamentalist Christian "We Can Cure Your Homosexuality" people got to him (J/K, I actually like to think that Liberace, in the grandest of his grand attire, is now God's personal lounge pianist)
8) Velvet Underground? But I don't remember John Cale being that tall relative to the others. Nor Moe looking that much like a woman.
9) no idea
10) no idea
11) no idea, but must be one of those "20 years on" photos
12) erm, a Buddy Holly impersonator? Or very slightly possibly Buddy Holly impersonating Buddy Holly?
13) Moby? Doesn't look self-righteous enough to be Micheal Stipe.
14) uhm, hi (waves hand wildly); 80's child here, this one doesn't even need an answer.
15) some late 70's post-punk British band attempting to look and sound like Joy Division (and succeeding beyond anyone's wildest imagination)
not too shabby, actually!
2: Yep, Marc Almond
3: Nope
4: nope
5: I am going to be over there. Laughing and laughing and laughing.
7: Nope! But I love the image of Liberace playing for God.
8: Talking Heads
11: it is a more recent photo of a band who've been at it for a long while, yes
12: Or Elvis Costello himself
13: Not Stipe or Moby!
14: yeah, I looked for a less recognizeable photo of them.
15: Look very closely at the fellow on the left-hand side of the pic.
I'm going to give you #15. :)
I know that you know 2 of the unguessed bands, frinstance
I'm new at iPodding.
iPodery?
wait a minute... you're gay?
But 11 bothers me and I feel I should know it.
Not Beck, but something equally earnest with a guitar...
#6 Is that Yoko Kano? I had to use my knowledge of who was presenting this quiz to get that one.
And I'd thought Ms. Kanno would've been a stumper.
And the person before him is a categoric sort of hint.
