OK from top to bottom:
Tina and RS + Madonna, Bob Dylan and Hall and Oates
Cohen and Taylor Swift
Pete Townsend top R and Eric Clapton and no clue about the others
I do not think the clown is supposed to be famous
Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and Tom Pettey - no clue about dude on right
Guy to M Jackson's right is Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. I don't know about the others.

Thanks! I had no idea who Cherie Currie or Steve Rubell were, I just thought it's just MJ and Tyler with some random people. And Hall & Oates is just a name to me, I didn't know what they look like. I guess I should've recognized Madonna, but she looks kinda unfamiliar in that pic.

Is the person on the left Mel Gibson?
That's Lou Reed, and sitting next to him it Bob Dylan. Seated in front of them is Tom Petty, and...
The guy on the right looks like the current King of Sweden when he was younger.
...the guy standing is Randy Newman.

Why would it be unexpected that these three are hanging together? Aren't they all American rock musicians?

The Townshend picture: I went to thewho.com and found it there. Caption: "1976-Pete backstage at Hammersmith Odeon with Don Williamsand Ronnie Lane, Danny Flowers (Don's guitarist) and Eric Clapton. 30th September."

Townshend / Clapton together in one picture, maybe that was unexpected at the time?
― StanM, Sunday, 5 September 2010 20:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Nope, that wasn't it - Townshend organised a benefit for Clapton a couple of years earlier and they were friends (first paragraph here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton#Solo_career )
