Top 1000 Bands #570-#561

570 - Babes In Toyland - A forgotten grunge band of the 90's, Babes in Toyland had a great out-of-control sound to their music.

569 - Elf Power - An indie rock band with a couple of solid albums so far, but no breakthrough hits.

568 - The Sun - A solid indie band with a great debut album to their credit.

567 - Mark Lanegan - The former lead singer of The Screaming Trees, Lanegan has released several solo albums and while most are too slow and gloomy for me, some of his songs are outstanding.

566 - Ocean Colour Scene - A Brit-pop band with prog leanings, Ocean Colour Scene has made great atmospheric music for the better part of a decade and a half.

565 - Switchfoot - A Christian rock band that's always one step shy of creating a truly great song, though many of their songs have come close over the years.

564 - Superchunk - A modern rock band that keeps looking for their breakthrough hit, though they have made several solid albums to date.

563 - Soul Coughing - One of the most acclaimed indie bands of the 90's, Soul Coughing had a unique and unusual sound that set them apart from their grunge competition.

562 - Three Doors Down - They aren't shit these days, but Three Doors Down's debut album was one of the best mainstream rock albums of the past few years.

561 - Days Of The New - The Alice In Chains knockoff band that owned an entire year in the late 90's before the lead singer's massive ego tore the band apart after the first taste of success.
