590 - Blues Traveler - The blues rock revivalist owned at least an entire summer during the mid-90s when people suddenly wanted to hear harmonica driven rock for the very last time before giving up on it forever.
589 - Army Of Anyone - The band that features the rest of Stone Temple Pilots created an excellent debut album of mainstream rock with crossover potential.
588 - Powerman 5000 - One of the best metal bands of the late 90's, Powerman 5000 was pretty straight-forward and while it's nothing earth-shattering, it's still pretty fun to listen to.
587 - Elliott Smith - I've thought he was somewhat over-rated after his death as all artists are, but he was still a great singer-songwriter who was always on the verge of becoming something big.
586 - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - One of the latest bands to light the blogosphere ablaze, Clap Your Hands had a brilliant first album and a somewhat disappointing follow-up, though the second album was still good enough to promise a bright future for the band.
585 - Clint Black - One of the few respectable country artists in the 90's, Clint Black created a series of fun rock-flavored country songs that didn't pander to pop audiences.
584 - Sevendust - Their music has become redundant lately, but the first few albums they put out are among the best metal of the last 20 years.
583 - Mischief Brew - A folk punk band that visited Pierre a couple of years ago with rockin' acoustic protest ballads reminiscent of the Dropkick Murphys.
582 - Fuel - One of the bigger rock bands of the late 90's, Fuel had a series of huge hits on the Modern and Mainstream rock charts, though I haven't heard much from them lately.
581 - Jerry Cantrell - One of the two vocalists in Alice In Chains, Cantrell has released several solo albums of music slightly below the AIC level, but at a high level nonetheless.
