890 - The Door Keys - A punk band from Indiana that I first heard at their concert in Pierre. Disorganized, but a lot of fun.
889 - Voxtrot - One of the most recent indie rock bands to light up the blog scene. They only recently released their debut album, but it's a good one.
888 - Rick James - 70's funk legend who enjoyed a huge revival thanks to the Chappelle Show.
887 - Twisted Sister - The signature band of 80's hair metal, they were actually pretty decent for at least their first few singles. They burned out rather quickly, though and haven't been heard from since.
886 - Gram Parsons - You know that whole country rock thing that developed in the 70s and is still around? Yeah, he invented it.
885 - The Knack - A one-hit wonder from the 80's who hit it big with "My Sharona".
884 - Paramore - An interesting newcomer, Paramore has enjoyed a great deal of success with their hybrid of Evanescence and Riot Grrl sounds.
883 - Catatonia - A friend of mine introduced me to this band. They're an interesting enough group, but nothing groundbreaking.
882 - Quasi - A late 90's indie rock band that's gone in some interesting but experimental directions in recent years.
881 - The Vaselines - All of their best songs are best known because Nirvana covered them. They're the band behind "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam", which isn't as good as Nirvana's, "Son Of A Gun", which is actually better than the cover and "Molly's Lips", which is fucking awful. They use a damn bicycle horn in the song. Seriously.
