600 - Norah Jones - The artist for whom the Grammys were initially created for, though they had no idea at the time, I always thought her music was a little dull, though it's still worth a listen in my book.
599 - Sinead O'Connor - One of the big stars of indie rock in the late 80's and early 90's, Sinead tanked her career with her politics on Saturday Night Live and beyond. A lot of her music is too thick for my tastes, but her early 90's stuff is right on.
598 - The Charlie Daniels Band - One of the best bands in Southern Rock, the Charlie Daniels Band made their biggest splash with "The Devil Went Down To Georgia".
597 - Richard Hell And The Voidoids - One of the biggest names in early punk rock, Richard Hell left Television to form his own band and made the song that kicked off the punk genre "Blank Generation".
596 - Mudhoney - A band that I've always found more important than great, Mudhoney was the starter's pistol that kicked off grunge in the early 90's, opening the door for all the greats. Their music is pretty solid, but nothing Hall Of Fame worthy.
595 - Kyuss - The band that eventually became Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss released a lot of music that never quite boiled up to the surface, but a lot of their instrumental work is remarkable.
594 - Dio - The best of the metal artists that provided a transition between the great metal of the 70's and the atrocious hair metal of the 90's, lead singer Ronnie James Dio created some of the goofiest and most intense music of the genre.
593 - Sugarcult - A pop punk band that creates some of the most brilliant sugar shock songs of the new century.
592 - Chicago - A classic rock band that had a long series of hits but never really had any truly memorable songs. Their music in the 80's was absolutely awful.
591 - The Dresden Dolls - A My Chemical Romance type over the top goth rock band, The Dresden Dolls music could be best described as cabaret. Interesting stuff with a lot of potential.
