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. ???

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*

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 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 :)

#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.

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

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?).
