Suede correctly guessed by xsquggyx l0ckd0wn purrmeowsqueek and torment2romance
One of the original indie bands (the unfortunate forefather of "Britpop") they got a bit poopy when Bernard left. Peff's favourite Suede songs: Stay Together and Animal Nitrate

HIM correctly guessed by kuroi_yousei purrmeowsqueek l0ckd0wn and torment2romance.
Finnish "Love Metal" band I used to be quite into but haven't really listened to them for about... ooh 3 years now. Peff's fave HIM songs: "Our Diabolikal Rapture" and "When Love and Death Embrace"

O-ZONE guessed correctly by tozka bishoujomagic purrmeowsqueek and torment2romance
"Numa Numa." Need I say more?

Hyde guessed correctly by tozka dracunculusmed mikiri kuroi_yousei greenapple_ping l0ckd0wn purrmeowsqueek and torment2romance
Some of you a little perplexed by the picture but, yes, it's Hyde, lead singer of highly successful Japanese pop rock band L'Arc~en~ciel. I don't really listen to his stuff so I can't say I have a favourite...

Mason Jennings guessed correctly by... no one!
Poor Mason. Well, he's an American folksy bluesy acoustic musician, I don't know much about him but I inherited oneof his albums and it's quite good. Peff's fave Mason Jennings songs: "Butterfly" and "Nothing"
7
Apoptygma Berzerk guessed correctly by... no one!
Slightly misleading photo, I think there are only two of them now... Anyway, highly respected Norweigen EBM act who burn up the dance charts in Northern Europe. Peff's fave Apoptygma Berzerk songs: "Something I Should Know," "Mourn" and "Suffer in Silence."
8
My Vitriol guessed correctly by dracunculusmed kobraski and torment2romance.
I think they got lumped with the "New BritRock" tag, coming at the arse end of indie and picking up a semi-goff following through associations with Placebo. Peff's fave My Vitriol songs: "Always: Your Way" and "Losing Touch"
9
WIZO guessed correctly by... no one!
Nah, didn't think you'd get this... they're a German punk band who've been going since before the fall of the Berlin wall and last time I checked were signed to Fat Mike's (of NOFX) label "Fat Wreck Chords." Peff's fave WIZO songs: "Quadret im Kreis," "Raum der Zeit" and "Different"
10
My Ruin guessed correctly by l0ckd0wn and kobraski. (No, not The Distillers, but good guess!)
RAAAAAAARGH it's Tairrie B, doin it for the sisters... Actually I preferred the first album, which was basially a solo spoken word/scream project, to the later ensemble pieces. Peff's fave My Ruin songs: "Little Miss Scare All" and "Beauty Fiend"
11
Bad Religion guessed correctly by dracunculusmed and l0ckd0wn
Yay! Political American punk rockers who founded Epitaph Records. I think this is great band. Peff's fave Bad Religion songs: "Flat Earth Society," "I Love My Computer," "Broken," "Sinister Rouge" and "Suffer"

13
Mad Capsule Markets guessed correctly by... no one, though purrmeowsqueek had a go XD
You know, I probably wouldn't recognise them from a photo either! But these Japanese noiseniks are pretty darned cool in my opinion. It took me a while to get into them, now they rock my socks. Peff's fave Mad Capsule Markets songs: "Fly High," "Pulse," "Bit Crusherrrr" and "Good Girl"

17
Lush guessed correctly by... no one.
Well they weren't especially well know even when they were around... Lush were one of those female fronted indie bands that sprung up in the early 90's, and good on 'em. I couldn't name any of their songs but "Single Girl" and "Ladykillers" though.
