450 - The Good, The Bad & The Queen - A new band from various members of Blur and other Brit-pop bands, The Good had a great debut album and if they stay together, a bright future.
449 - Suicidal Tendencies - One of the best and most successful aggro punk bands of the early 80's, ST had a big hit with "Institutionalized".
448 - Bonnie Raitt - One of the great blues rock artists of the 70's-90's, Bonnie had a series of huge hits in the early 90's when she was at her peak.
447 - Roxy Music - One of the first great art rock bands to make it big in the 70's, Roxy Music had a series of hits in the art pop scene that never really caught on.
446 - Mott The Hoople - One of the best glam rock bands of the 70's, Mott The Hoople never had a huge hit until Bowie gifted them their best song "All The Young Dudes".
445 - The Dead Boys - A great '77 punk band that didn't manage to cross over to the mainstream but nonetheless were among the most important bands of the era.
444 - Richard Cheese - One of the funniest men in rock n roll, Richard Cheese takes super-macho hard rock songs and sings them as cheesy lounge songs. It sounds horrible, but it really works. The worse the song, the better.
443 - The Scorpions - One of the few metal bands in the 80's that I have any respect for, The Scorpions had a series of great songs that would have fit better in the 70's, especially "Rock You Like A Hurricane".
442 - Foreigner - A vastly successful classic rock band from the late 70's and early 80's who had a ton of hits, but not many songs that transcended their genre.
441 - Econoline Crush - An underrated late 90's rock band that didn't have any major hits but managed to be one of the few original artists from a grim period in rock history.
