I got 59 last night, but some I just couldn't figure out.
Here are some I didn't get:
The guys on the rooftop
The three girls running and holding hands
The purple building
The two girls making out
The couple leaning against the street light
The calendar
The choir
Just to name a few

I got some of these:
The guys on the rooftop -
The Carpenters The three girls running and holding hands
The purple building -
Deep Purple The two girls making out -
KISS The couple leaning against the street light
The calendar -
Green Day The choir
To be honest, I cheated to get The Carpenters and Deep Purple. I think the choir might be The Manic Street Preachers. Still not sure about the couple and the three girls…

COULD THE CHOIR BE THE POLYPHONIC SPREE? OR DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE LITERAL?

Can't believe I missed Green Day, but Deep Purple was a hard one.

That's what I thought too, but apparently it's White Zombie. There are a few that can be interpreted different ways. Like, would the actual streets refer to Pavement or The Streets?

I put The Zombies too, but White Zombie makes more sense. I guess I'm dating myself.

mmhm.
and how about a Ramones reference on the quarter?
i think that you can just interpret a lot of them as two or three bands (ex. Pavement AND The Streets both make sense…). there are WAY more than 75 bands on that thing…
