820 - Thom Yorke - The Radiohead front-man had a solo album released in 2006. It was no Radiohead album, but it was still a great debut with a lot of classic songs.
819 - Janitor Bob And The Armchair Cowboys - A regional favorite, Janitor Bob had a huge hit with "The Happy Song" and a couple smaller hits as well.
818 - Horse Feathers - An outstanding roots-rock band that I caught in Pierre when they played in a burned-out death-trap of an apartment, AKA the only place in Pierre to see a rock show. Great stuff.
817 - Electric Six - Probably the most successful techno-tinged dance rock band of their generation. And they're 817th on my list. Not a great genre...
816 - Rev Run - One of the members of Run DMC went solo for an album and created some of the best rap music of the new century.
815 - Gravity Kills - They had a bunch of other singles, but let's be serious and acknowledge that they're only going to be remembered for "Gravity", which is one of the great industrial rock songs ever made.
814 - Peter, Bjorn And John - They released a great debut album all-around, but they're best known for their mega-hit "Young Folks".
813 - The Kingsmen - The band that recorded the biggest song of the garage rock era, "Louie Louie"... never really did anything else.
812 - Pretty Girls Make Graves - Lauded by no less than the Korean girl on Gilmore Girls, Pretty Girls Make Graves had a short career with a couple of solid albums before they ended a bit too soon.
811 - Ween - A goofy band that's impossible to read, Ween can be anywhere from excellent to abysmal, depending on what experiment they're trying at the time.
