I forgot to mention the wall has been sealed and painted

It's possible the construction adhesive in tubes would hold for a while if the blocks were painted first with a good moisture stopping paint for cement blocks. It would certainly stick to 1x4 pine boards, laid flat, like ceiling furring strips, attached to the wall. You may need to use a cement nail or one of the Ramset guns you can rent at a Tool Rental Store. You don't mention where you live, so it would depend on the weather somewhat. If the basement is cold in the winter months, it would be to your advantage to use some of the solid foam insulation board, 3/4" thick, to put on the walls in between the furring strips. You'd have a really nice solid wall, could actually hang things on it and it should come out nice and straight and smooth.

Basement Paneling

Liquid nails might work, I've never tired it for that, but I doubt it would, and it would probably be expensive.
Why not use 1 X 2 furring strips? They're a lot cheaper than 2 X 4 studs. Just make a light weight frame by attaching them to the concrete, then attache the plywood to them? That's what I did in the basement of my last home and I never had a problem.

The cheapest way is wood and sheetrock, but the right way would be to use pressure treated wood anywhere it touches the concrete. You could just lay pressure treated 2x4s on the floor, cover them with plywood, and then build the outside walls with kiln dried 2x4, keeping a space between the kiln dried and the block walls. Right now, sheet rock is around $5 a sheet, pretty cheap. You could always just paint the block walls too.

no, not directly, you will have to seal it so the moisture doesnt get in between the block and the paneling. The moisture lock is like a paint that seals the walls. That would be the best bet. Then after that there shouldnt be a problem with doing so

It would just fall off. The concrete expands and contracts,and in a basement is usually scaley, so theres no good bond between the two. I would paint it w/ a color based concrete sealer.

I agree with the liquid nails,but that can be expensive when you would need a lot of it to work right.I would figure 2 tubes per sheet.
