Top 1000 Bands #320-#311

320 - Buffalo Springfield - The band that gave Neil Young his big break, Buffalo Springfield is best known for their legendary song "For What It's Worth".

319 - The Dropkick Murphys - The finest Irish punk band in the world, The Dropkick Murphys could be the world's greatest band period, except they don't so much sing as scream their way through their lyrics. The music itself is awesome, but the vocals keep them down.

318 - Danzig - The former lead singer of the Misfits went on to form one of the most successful metal bands of the 90's. They scored a big hit with "Mother", but my favorite song is "Dirty Black Summer".

317 - Fastball - An underrated pop rock band from the late 90's, Fastball had a huge hit with "The Way", but they also had a lot of smaller hits that added up to an outstanding career.

316 - OK Go - I haven't heard from them in awhile, but their 80's style post-punk music scored a huge hit with the video-driven single "Here It Goes Again".

315 - Sammy Hagar - The second lead singer of Van Halen had a solo career before VH and after VH. His music was much better before with hits like "Heavy Metal" and the seriously dated "I Can't Drive 55".

314 - Don Henley - Another former lead singer makes his mark on the list as former Eagles front-man Don Henley is recognized for his successful early-80's career as much as his less successful late 90's stuff. Considering the wholesome background Henley's early career came from you wouldn't expect him to have blisteringly sarcastic attacks on the media and the government to his credit.

313 - Derek And The Dominoes - They only released one album and they only had two hits, but when those hits are "Bell-Bottom Blues" and "Layla", you don't need to keep making music to be legends.

312 - Fat Boy Slim - For a brief period of time, techno ruled the world and along with Moby, Fat Boy Slim ruled the world with hit after hit. Of course, this was a VERY brief period of time.

311 - Deep Purple - One of the first great metal bands, Deep Purple had a series of hits, but none better than the guitar school 101 classic "Smoke On The Water".
