Help with stupidly hard quiz

[ApocalypseNowt]

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...

Love Affair for secret lover? And sorry for repeating Sound Garden! I enlarged the image and didn't see the answer was already in.

1971 film referencing Don Quixote is Man of La Mancha which translates as birthplace or origin

Could this be Genesis?

Ah, ok. Not that, then, as it's also 10 letters.

I think we've had the film one, it's They Might Be Giants.

Someone said 15 was Backstreet Boys

I think it needs to be The Backstreet Boys for the number of letters

Who said backstreet boys for 'Orlando fleamarket'?

Please explain yourself?

Posession? Very tenuous. Never heard of them.

They Might Be Giants is 17 though.

I don't think Backstreet boys fits looking at the grid.

It's in their Wikipedia history

"Pearlman decided to call them Backstreet Boys, after Orlando's Backstreet Market, an outdoor flea market nearInternational Drivewhich was also a teen hangout."

...and if it's 14 letters we're left with then Backstreet Boys fits, not the.

I don't think Backstreet boys fits looking at the grid.

I have fitted it in now - I had missed seeing Jethro Tull and that fits where I thought it was wrong

Yes - we needed a 14 letter word - backstreet Boys is 14 letters!

This is beyond random, but Yo La Tengo come up if you search for a band name based on 'I've got it's. It is 9 letters!

secret lover could be Paramour

Have you tried "Alliteration"

For each celebrity the first names and last name are the same

If I've counted correctly, solution to Q3 "I've got it" is 9 letters.

Hmmm OK, so there were more pages to this thread - for some reason, I thought it only had one page!

That must be it then!

Such a famous band, it must be

Has anyone filled in the grid. Would it fit?!

We've been at this for DAYS!

Brilliant fun, although all else has fallen by the wayside...
