Help with stupidly hard quiz

Each year my work does a stupidly hard quiz. There are many stages and we get a month to try and do it.

Anyone help me with this stage? there are 21 pictures of celebrities and I've managed to work out who they all are but now I'm stuck on working out the password to the next stage. Each picture has a coloured Roman numeral in it so I assume I have to use those to work out the answer...

Next stage is a crossword. Looks like the answers are all names of bands

For "I've got it!" There seems to be a fairly obscure German band called Eureka but that seems doubtful.

ApocalypseNowt · 04/12/2020 12:45

UFO's might be Starship?

Apparently there's an icelandic band whose name means victory rose - Sigur Ros. Not sure if that's too much of a stretch...

@SoupDragon yes I was bit Hmm about the plural re UFO's!
