190 - Madonna - The Queen of Pop, Madonna had hit after hit during the 80's and 90's, eventually becoming one of the few pure pop artists to be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.
189 - Michael Jackson - And here's the King Of Pop, who during the 80's was the biggest star in pop music, though now he's best known as something akin to a carnival freak.
188 - Korn - One of the biggest stars of the nu-metal genre, Korn enjoyed a string of albums that were among the best of the late 90's. They aren't quite what they used to be, but most bands from the 90's aren't.
187 - New Order - New Order rose from the ashes of Joy Division and while they never got the acclaim that their original band did, they were among the biggest hitmakers of the New Wave 80's.
186 - They Might Be Giants - The original quirky pop rock band, They Might Be Giants have made a 20+ year career out of their fun and unusual sound.
185 - ZZ Top - One of the biggest blues rock bands of the classic rock era, ZZ Top hit a career high-point in the early 80's with their Eliminator album, which made them one of the biggest rock bands in the world.
184 - The Buzzcocks - One of the most overlooked bands of the 70's punk scene, The Buzzcocks created two of punk's best songs "What Do I Get" and "Ever Fallen In Love".
183 - Placebo - A weird band to be sure, Placebo was one of the best bands of the alt rock 90's. Their sound isn't for all tastes, but to be sure they were unique and interesting at all time.
182 - Faith No More - One of the first bands to mix rock and rap into their sound, Faith No more enjoyed a lot of underground success before cracking the pop charts with "Epic".
181 - Depeche Mode - A consistent and solid band that has a surprisingly large fanbase, Depeche Mode is best known for a string of hits that they had in the 80's and early 90's, but they've been among the best artists in New Wave throughout the past few decades.
