Don't ask for answers, I don't recognize them all. Smile

Percussion, sir!

LOL

That image is quite old, there was a contest where the winner won the poster with an extra band of his choice (in the square where it says: tu grupo aquí). Of course I didn't won, but I know where are the answers Tongue

.

Hints:

1- Its important that you know some spanish (a few words its okay, especialy the days of the week).

2- The icons are very literal.

3- The autor is mexican, he's a designer and an illustrator.

4- He loves cynicism.

I put the red words if you want to cheat. Go to Google.

...so the last on row 5 is never going to be the Honeycombs then

...and I guess the last on row 8 isn't going to be Band Aid.

What?

I presume the icon right to the AC/DC is Kraftwerk, but then again, it could be Air too...but Air could be those chemical elements N,O in a second row too.

Coldplay in the one-before-last row is very clever...but the waveform on the left is perplexing me...and the reddish texture in the upper corner?

Percussion, sir!

Could that Hindu symbol be Samadhi?

(Saw the album review on the homepage this morning and remembered the symbol). LOL

Probably not, as I don't think obscure RPI bands would be on this puzzle, but maybe it will offer a clue to someone smarter than me.

Or Queen, as it looks a little like a chess piece symbol for the queen. Oh I see Queen is already there.

The iron maiden (2nd row, far right) is Iron Maiden.
