They do play some rock. I'd describe them as alternative.

Cant think of too many american "alt/indie" bands of the 70's....

Lots of ways to describe the music of this band; they're a bit weird.

The Tubes...?

Sheridan81

Not The Tubes or Devo.

This band haven't sold that many albums, but they're not unknown; they have a cult following, and have some links to the likes of Thurston Moore and Kurt Cobain.

Just look at the picture and think about that Linkin Park guy.

UrbanSprawl

Wipers (for his glasses:pac:)

No idea who they are just a band associated with Cobain.

No idea how it links to the picture, but Velvet Underground were a pretty massive influence on the alt rock/punk eras and 70's would be thereabouts their time, having been described as a band that didnt sell a lot of albums, but everyone that bought one started a band.

None of those. More visual clues:

S.M.B.

Half Japanese

No way I'd get that without all the additional clues.

Sheridan81

Yeah Half Japanese! I figured people knew Mike Shinoda was half-japanese and would know the band but I made the original visual clue too hard.

S.M.B.

Nicely done. A challenging one with a few clues is always welcome.

I'll skip. Usually get the correct answer at a time when it's not ideal to post a new one.
