800 - Taking Back Sunday - One of the most successful emo bands around (good enough for a slot in the top 800!), TBS has found a decent amount of crossover success over the years.
799 - Nick Drake - Sadly for Mr. Drake, he didn't find the vast majority of his fame until several decades after his death, when the Garden State soundtrack and a couple of commercials brought him to the front of indie rock.
798 - Mary J. Blige - The queen of modern R&B, Mary J. has had a massive amount of success over the past decade and is still at the top of the charts on a regular basis.
797 - Tangiers - A new indie rock band that's tearing up the music blogs, Tangiers has released very little so far, but what I've heard so far, I've liked.
796 - Don McLean - He had a bunch of hits, but let's be serious, "American Pie" is the only one that anyone will remember, but it is one of the all-time greats.
795 - Dr. Hook - The one-hit wonder band that made it big with "Cover of the Rolling Stone". Of course, they didn't get big enough to actually get their picture on the cover of the rolling stone, but that's beside the point.
794 - Rihanna - She's blown up even more as a superstar since when I originally made this list, so she'll probably go up a bit next time. She's one of the best artists in hip hop at the moment.
793 - Aqualung - The latest Coldplay knock-off has made a couple of good albums so far, but is best-known for their brilliant "Brighter Than Sunshine".
792 - 1908 - Another band that I first saw in Pierre, 1908 is an arty indie rock band with a great EP.
791 - The Brakes - This would be the British band called The Brakes, which is slightly better than their American counterpart. Another solid indie band with a small following that could blow-up in the near future.
