470 - The Dictators - One of the great proto-punk bands, The Dictators served as a bridge band between the classic rock era and the punk era with their great songs like "I Live For Cars And Girls".
469 - Kansas - One of the most popular bands of the classic rock era, Kansas had a string of classic songs that eventually got too melodramatic for their own good.
468 - Thin Lizzy - A great blues rock band from the 70's who had big hits with "Jailbreak" and especially "The Boys Are Back In Town".
467 - The Silversun Pickups - A modern rock band with metal stylings, The Silversun Pickups are one of the most recent bands to be added to this list and for good reason. Their breakthrough album is one of the best of recent years.
466 - Evanescence - A highly successful modern rock band, Evanescence is capable of creating one great rock song per album but unfortunately much of their other songs end up sounding derivative.
465 - Hot Hot Heat - A cool indie dance rock outfit that had a huge breakthrough hit with "Bandages" and continues to make fun songs like "Harmonicas And Tambourines".
464 - Better Than Ezra - A 90's alternative band that had a series of small hits and one massive hit called "Good".
463 - R.E.O. Speedwagon - One of the most popular bands of the 1980's, I enjoy a couple of Speedwagon's songs, though listening to more than a few of them in a row is quite tedious.
462 - Ne'er Do Well - Ne'er Do Well is my friend Ryan Stoick's band. They don't have an official album out so far but he's been feeding me the demos and tracks as they get them prepared. So far I've liked what I've heard. They have a ways to go before they find their own voice and a lot of their music is really down-tempo and depressing, but it's promising and hopefully they can build on it in the future.
461 - Brother Cane - One of the lesser-known 90's bands, Brother Cane managed to have a series of great singles before they broke up. One of the best hard rock bands of the mid-90's.
