Eels (between the Queen and the Prince)
Nine Inch Nails (to the left of the Prince)
Police (beyond the crossing)

There are a few that I feel like should be obvious but are killing me - the statue thing on the crossing, the litter bin tipped over, the postman, and the cowboys next to the underground station.

Not sure who the guys standing around the gate on top of the crowded house are, also not sure about the tiny stegasaurus, the plants under the guns and roses, or the oranges with faces on the fruit stand.

I definitely think some of them are supposed to have two meanings such as 50 cent/nickelback and talking heads/television

Again seems pretty obscure to me but I fully admit that I stopped paying attention to music when Cobain died, but none of the other post-94 bands seem that obscure.
