~~Oops! missed that one...~~

Correction - I hadn't missed it, I had attributed it to #25, not #26. Fixed now.

Even for someone who has probably lived through the period when the musicians you show performed, since my musical taste is not for pop music I have only ever heard of one of them and that's Winton Marsalis who has played composed music on his trumpet!
I'm not too hot on US cars either, of course.

There are non-US cars and artisits in this puzzle.

But no "classical" musicians

It's definitely slanted towards US popular musicians, but hey, who says somebody couldn't create one for classical musicians? *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink* *say no more*

Try as I might, I couln't find a car called a Mussorgsky, Shostakovich or Sibelius.

porridgehead · « **Reply #31 on:** July 25, 2008, 12:44:34 PM »

Hey, nobody said it would be easy.

Come to think of it, it would be quite difficult. Like, next to impossible. Not necessarily to create, but to solve.

Hmmmm.... ya gots me thinkin' and that's usually the first sign of trouble.

I mulled it over at lunch, and have concocted something that I think will work....

Fans of longhair music, stay tuned!

What do you mean, longhair? Mozart or Led Zeppelin?

I could do either, but meant the former.

Well, I'll be darned. I'd dismissed all ideas of contributing any more to this one, but I couldn't resist having another look at picture #21. After having examined it closely, I thought that the air intakes in front of the windshield were a bit reminiscent of those of a Yes Roadster, so I checked it out, and whaddyaknow, I'm right! So, what kind of rock group could be called... ah! Yes! Picture #13, Jon Anderson's legendary rock group Yes.

As you said, Mr. Puzzell: It's nice to learn something new every day

Still some points for the taking here...

Perhaps #3 will be solved on a dark night.

Ray B. · « **Reply #39 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:15:16 PM »

# 12 is a Reo Speedwagon fire truck, and # 30 is a band called R.E.O. Speedwagon

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #40 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:47:06 PM »

Yes - well done!

Ray B. · « **Reply #41 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:55:36 PM »

I remembered that when there are words in an image, this is food you can feed Google with.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #42 on:** August 29, 2008, 04:43:36 AM »

Google hungry for more!

Ray B. · « **Reply #43 on:** August 29, 2008, 12:53:39 PM »

Tuner #11 is Johnny Mercer, and car #27 is a Mercer raceabout, around 1920

Ray B. · « **Reply #44 on:** August 29, 2008, 04:26:29 PM »

#9 is a band called "The Rivieras" (well, we'll see about that...), and #23 is a 1965 Buick Riviera.

As a matter of fact, I think that #9 is more properly "The Blendells", but that you have been misled by Google (due to the proximity of the 2 different pictures in the page) and the website called artistdirect.com. The Blendells, as said in the pic below, was a Mexican-American group. This striked me in the picture #9. And the Rivieras, on the record covers I've seen, were 5 and not 6.

Mea culpa

Ray B. · « **Reply #46 on:** September 07, 2008, 05:57:40 PM »

Don't apologize: it's even better when you have to find that kind of error.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #47 on:** September 15, 2008, 05:33:28 AM »

Car #23 and artist #25 remain to be ID'd.

I think you mean car #3 and artist #25, but I am stuck anyway and can't find either in this dark night (or knight?).

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #49 on:** September 20, 2008, 06:33:52 AM »

You are correct.

Who is the dark knight?
