280 - Eagles Of Death Metal - A solid band with a bright future, Eagles features guest star Josh Homme in their quirky rock n roll throwback songs.
279 - Spoon - I don't like them as much as indie rock critics do, but I can't deny the excellence of their last few albums and the hooks that they feature in their best songs.
278 - Bachman-Turner Overdrive - One of the most popular classic rock bands of the 1970's, BTO never really had any great songs, but they did churn out a large quantity of solid rock tunes during their run.
277 - Tenacious D - The best rock parody band of all-time, Jack Black and Kyle Gass' comedy duo brilliantly parodied a wide variety of genres and styles culminating in an outstanding album.
276 - Nada Surf - Although they're mostly known for their huge hit "Popular", Nada Surf has been carrying the indie rock ball for more than a decade as a poor man's Weezer that is frequently better than Weezer.
275 - The Cranberries - One of the most successful 90's alternative bands, The Cranberries had a unique Irish sound and a string of hits, with the best being "Zombie".
274 - Meat Loaf - A bombastic singing voice and exactly one album's worth of great songs drove Meat Loaf to one of the most successful albums of all-time, though it's a shame that all those great songs ended up on that one album.
273 - Built To Spill - One of alternative rock's longest-living and greatest bands, Built To Spill never broke through but they still made a lasting impression on rock n roll.
272 - Buckcherry - Essentially this is a recognition of their outstanding debut album, which is one of the best albums of the last 10 years. Everything since then has been WAY downhill.
271 - Fountains Of Wayne - A quirky alternative band that had a huge hit with "Stacy's Mom", though it was one of their worst songs.
