710 - Modern English - An 80's New Wave band who had a big hit with "I Melt With You", one of the best songs of the genre.
709 - Avenged Sevenfold - They're one of the biggest bands in mainstream rock right now, but outside of one solid album, they haven't done much of note.
708 - Porno For Pyros - Perry Farrell's first post-Jane's Addiction band, PFP had big hits with "Pets" and "Tahitian Moon".
707 - Saliva - You wouldn't think that this band would be any good, but I've liked several of their songs for their Clutch / Monster Magnet over-the-top style.
706 - Ben E. King - He was pretty popular during the early days of rock n roll, but to me he'll always be best remembered for his all-time classic "Stand By Me".
705 - Elbow - An indie rock band that hasn't broken through yet but has made a couple of great albums so far.
704 - Manfred Mann - They're best known for their covers of "Blinded By The Light" and "The Mighty Quinn", but they were also responsible for that "Yellow Bikini" song.
703 - Madness - An 80's New Wave band that had a couple of solid albums before fading away.
702 - Natalie Merchant - The former lead singer of 10,000 Maniacs went solo in the early 80's and realeased a couple of great albums.
