Top 1000 Bands #700-#691

700 - The Spill Canvas - The most successful rock group from South Dakota and they're only going up from there, in the industry and on my list.

699 - Garth Brooks - As much as I hate what he stood for, I can't deny that I like a couple of his songs.

698 - The Dropcic Mormons - A side project of two members of Pierre's best band, Anerexic Fat Kid, The Dropcic Mormons were more of a metal outfit than AFK. They were unrefined, but the drums and guitars were often amazing.

697 - Tom Cochrane - The former lead singer of Red Rider had one of my favorite songs of the early 90's with "Life Is A Highway".

696 - Youth Group - An indie rock band with a great debut album and a bright future.

695 - Semisonic - A late 90's modern rock band who had a few big hits, including "Secret Smile" and "Closing Time".

694 - Rock Kills Kid - A pop punk band from recent years who have put together a couple of solid albums.

693 - Paula Cole - She's had a lot of smaller hits, but nothing will ever top "I Don't Wanna Wait", the theme song from Dawson's Creek.

692 - Static-X - One of the few great metal bands to come out in recent years, Static-X is a speed metal band with remarkable consistency.

691 - The Psychedelic Furs - One of the biggest 80's new wave bands, the Furs had a series of solid albums, but I've never been a tremendous fan of their work. It's still good, but all-time good?
