Top 1000 Bands #910-#901

910 - Harry Nilsson - John Lennon loved him, but Nilsson only really had one big hit, "Everybody's Talkin'" from Midnight Cowboy. When I say "from Midnight Cowboy", I mean that they played it about 1000 times during the movie.

909 - Eddie Cochrane - One of the founding fathers of rock n roll, Eddie scored big hits with "C'mon Everybody" and "Summertime Blues".

908 - Colin Hay - The former lead singer of Men At Work enjoyed a late career comeback thanks to a cameo on "Scrubs".

907 - Smokey Robinson - The Motown legend has enjoyed a long and successful career in R&B with his sweet and high singing voice.

906 - Killswitch Engage - One of the great new metal bands to come out in the past few years, Killswitch Engage is an old-school revivalist band that's just getting started.

905 - Union Underground - A late-90's metal band that bridged the gap between Monster Magnet and Clutch.

904 - The Living Things - A modern rock T. Rex revivalist band that enjoyed a few hits off of their debut glam-rock album.

903 - The Dead Milkmen - An obscure indie rock band that had a breakthrough hit with "Bitchin' Camaro".

902 - Tokyo Police Club - An up-and-coming indie rock band that's got a big-time buzz going for them on music blogs, TPC already has one great album under their belt.

901 - M.I.A. - A unique artist who practically has a genre to herself, M.I.A. combines political lyrics with dance beats to create something that's never been heard before.
