#1000 - Japanther - An indie punk band from New York, I saw Japanther in concert in Pierre. They were alright, but their albums are much better than they were that night. Japanther is notable as the only band I've seen play Pierre that's received national attention.
#999 - The Redmenn - An intense punk band from Rapid City. I first heard of them when I saw them playing in Pierre. Apparantly, one of their songs was featured on Grey's Anatomy, but I'll forgive them for that.
#998 - The Jim Carroll Band - Jim Carroll was the man whose life became the movie The Basketball Diaries. His band is mainly known for their one big hit, "People Who Died", which is one of the great punk songs of the 70s.
#997 - E.M.F. - One hit. "Unbelievable". I bet you can sing it just by reading the title of the song.
#996 - Jenny Lewis - The lead singer of Rilo Kiley recently released a solo album that was clever and enjoyable.
#995 - The Black Eyed Peas - As a disclaimer I must inform you that "My Humps" is an absolute abomination and their spot on this list is due to their above average output previous to their most recent album, particularly "Let's Get Retarded" (that's the real title, by the way, not the PC one that they made up later on).
#994 - Norman Greenbaum - "Spirit In The Sky". Great song. There's not really a whole lot else to say here.
#993 - The Count Five - Another one-hit wonder, this one from the 60s. The song is "Psychotic Reaction", if you're curious.
#992 - Coolio - There aren't many good rap songs that aren't in the gangsta genre, but Coolio has got a whole lot of the ones that do exist.
#991 - The Underground Railroad To Candyland - Another "Live In Pierre" band, URC is a punk band with a style that describes description. They put on a great show, too.
