Top 1000 Bands #900-#891

900 - Allanah Miles - A one-hit wonder for her instant classic "Black Velvet".

899 - Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Surf-rock guitar legend Dick Dale and his band created some of the most famous instrumentals of all-time.

898 - Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Campbell of Belle And Sebastian teamed up with the Screaming Trees' Mark Lanegan for an album and this ranking is the result.

897 - Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheel - One of the best bands of the 60s, Mitch Ryder is best-known for "Devil With A Blue Dress On".

896 - Ash - One of the best of the Brit-pop artists, Ash's biggest hit was "Girl From Mars".

895 - The Posies - A little-known 90's indie rock band that created many great songs but never broke through.

894 - Annie Lennox - The Eurythmics lead singer had a series of hits on her own, including "Walking on Broken Glass".

893 - What The Kids Want - An underground punk band that I caught in Pierre a few years back.

892 - Brand New - One of the biggest names in emo history. That's good enough for #892 in my book.

891 - House Of Pain - Irish frathouse rapper Everlast got his start in this band, who had a huge hit with "Jump Around".
