390 - Lars Frederiksen And The Bastards - One of many successful Rancid side projects, The Bastards infused politics and anger into Rancid's poppy punk style to create a solid throwback sound to glory days of punk.
389 - Elastica - One of the best British indie rock bands around, Elastica enjoyed a great deal of success during their run in the mid 90's.
388 - Sweet - A strange mix of glam and metal produced a string of classic rock hits for the band Sweet, including "Fox On The Run" and the all-time cover favorite "Ballroom Blitz".
387 - Stephen Lynch - A comedian singer-songwriter with a couple albums full of great song parodies and originals.
386 - K.T. Tunstall - A modern day singer-songwriter who most expected to be a one-hit wonder after the runaway success of her first single "Black Horse And A Cherry Tree", Tunstall has instead crafted a series of hits spread out among her highly successful first two albums.
385 - Bob Mould - The lead singer of Husker Du and Sugar has enjoyed a long and successful career as a solo artist. No crossover hits as of yet, but solid albums abound.
384 - Lenny Kravitz - His career has fallen on hard times as of late, but in the mid to late 90's, Kravitz churned out hit after hit while borrowing heavily from Jimi Hendrix and other 60's artists.
383 - Ministry - One of the best metal bands of the 90's, Ministry got their start as a goth rock sort of new wave band in the 80's. Fortunately, they improved dramatically on that strange false start and created some of the best metal of their generation.
382 - King's X - A hard rock juggernaut that hasn't nearly achieved the success that they deserve, King's X has combined various styles of rock dating all the way back to the blues to create a series of great albums over the years.
381 - Fall Out Boy - One of the most popular pop bands around at the moment, Fall Out Boy doesn't make particularly great songs but like similar bands Sugar Ray or Maroon 5, they craft their songs around fantastic pop hooks.
