420 - Toad The Wet Sprocket - An extremely popular band in the mid-90's, Toad The Wet Sprocket created some of the best indie pop songs of the post-grunge era before disappearing off the face of the Earth a few years later.
419 - Jeff Buckley - A popular modern rock artist who is best known for his brilliant cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".
418 - Bloc Party - A moderately successful modern rock band that's had a few great albums and taken a couple of stabs at the big time, though the blows haven't quite landed yet.
417 - Third Eye Blind - In the summer of '97 or '98, Third Eye Blind was the most popular rock band on the planet, with hit after hit off of their debut album. They had continued success for a couple more years but they haven't been heard from much since the early 21st century.
416 - Thursday - One of the best of the new wave of emo punk bands, Thursday pours a lot of emotion into their agitated tunes, creating a sound rivaled only by Sparta in passion.
415 - The Bravery - At the time this list was formed, The Bravery weren't nearly the force in Modern Rock that they are today, riding high on the success of their second album, particularly their new smash hit "Believe". They'll probably be going up a lot when I revise this list again.
414 - Michelle Branch - A singer-songwriter from the era of the pop tarts, Michelle Branch created some of the most moving pop songs of her generation and still records great music to this day.
413 - Matisyahu - Though it appears that he was more of a novelty act than anything else, Matisyahu's music ranks among the best and most moving reggae that I've ever heard.
412 - Tegan And Sara - An indie pop group that has proven with repeated success to be far more than just the cutesy novelty band that they appeared to be when they first hit the airwaves. "Walking With A Ghost" ranks among the best indie songs of the 21st Century.
411 - The Fugees - They broke up after only one album, but they managed to create some of the best R&B of all-time while they were together.
