690 - Off With Their Heads - A political punk band from Minneapolis that I saw in Pierre. Their sound is best described as "controlled chaos".
689 - The Pharcyde - One of the coolest rap groups of the 90's, The Pharcyde have a loyal underground following.
688 - Gary Jules - I've never heard any song by him except for his cover of Tears For Fears' "Mad World" from Donnie Darko, which is one of the most remarkable cover songs in recent years.
687 - Missy Elliot - It seems like on every album she has one song that re-invents hip hop. It's usually good, but when she was on SNL and she had people Riverdancing, I knew she was done.
686 - Suede - One of the biggest and best of the Brit-pop bands, Suede had a number of great albums and they will go up quite a ways when I next re-do my list.
685 - The Kooks - A recent indie blog sensation, The Kooks had a solid debut album and should only be going up from here.
684 - Oceansize - A brand new indie band with some prog leanings. They always create thick atmospheric music.
683 - The Amboy Dukes - The psychedelic garage band that launched Ted Nugent's career with the brilliant "Journey To The Center Of The Mind".
682 - Robert Pollard - The former lead singer of Guided By Voices has been just as prolific on his own, continuing to release an album with a few decent songs every 5 minutes or so.
681 - Harry Chapin - He'll be remembered forever for "Cats In The Cradle", but he also produced "Taxi" and a few other adult contemporary classics.
