That zombie on the left could stand for Cannibal Corpse too. I see Prince right up front.

The mountain you attributed to Nirvana is for One Tree Hill, I think.

Duh. Prince is obvious. All I saw was "Page" which was pointless.

One Tree Hill - prolly better choice than Nirvana. Nirvana was a reach.

I still stand by White Zombie.

How about:

Crowded House - in the background above the 'uu' (U2)

The Doors - the coloured things on the left hand side behind 'The Cult'

The Carpenters - up on the roof, could also be Men At Work

Oh, and the tree might also be Cypress Hill

The Roots (in the sewer behind the Queen) and Eminem could also be N.E.R.D. and the two guys in the suits look like they have blood all over them, so they could be The Killers.

Korn not Corn,
Birds (crows on the Main St Sign), Blues Brothers not Men without Hats, Styx (pile of sticks)

How about Seal.(picture on building of a seal). Linken Park if the parked car is a lincoln, Styx on the ground, Jet (the planes too), Fuel could be the planes smoke, Elvis is in the window looks like a woman in a bikini but look closer.
Velvet Revolver in the Queens hand. Girl on fire escape is trapped there. Trapt. Men in black could be the blues brothers.
