880 - Golden Earring - The band that's best known for "Radar Love" also made the under-rated "Twilight Zone" before slipping into obscurity.
879 - A Flock Of Seagulls - A rock n roll pariah because of the videos they did in the 80s that showcased the dumbest looking hairstyle in music's history, Seagulls were actually a fairly decent new wave band.
878 - Dolly Parton - The legendary country singer who defined the genre in the 70s and the 80s and wrote Whitney Houston's biggest hit, though Houston completely destroyed it.
877 - Juliana Hatfield - The poor man's P.J. Harvey, Hatfield had a couple of hits during the grunge hey-days of the early 90s.
876 - Witch - J. Mascis' recent guitar-driven metal side-project. No clue if they'll release another CD, but their first one was good enough for this spot.
875 - Merle Haggard - A legendary country artist who was one of the founders of the outlaw country genre, the closest country ever came to respectability outside of Johnny and Willie.
874 - Eve - The second-best member of the Ruff Ryders, Eve has made a successful solo career for herself and is currently the most talented female rapper in the world.
873 - Skywynd - A relatively local band (they're from Minneapolis but they play Sioux Falls a lot), Skywynd has created a series of solid pop rock songs that could yet lead to a major breakthrough.
872 - Killing Joke - An 80's New Wave band that never really had a hit, but managed to create some great underground albums in their day.
871 - Talk Talk - Another 80's New Wave band, but this one actually had a hit with "It's My Life", which was later murdered by Gwen Stefani.
