Top 1000 Bands #200-#190

200 - The Traveling Wilburys - The greatest supergroup of all-time, The Traveling Wilburys featured Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne (ELO). The band didn't stay together for very long, breaking up with Orbision's death, but they put together some of the best country rock of all-time.

199 - The Doobie Brothers - One of the biggest acts of the 70's, the Doobie Brothers had hit after hit, making their mark as one of the most popular bands of the classic rock era, if not necessarily one of the greatest.

198 - Pulp - The forgotten band of the Brit-pop era, Pulp created one of the greatest songs of all-time with their bitter and sarcastic "Common People". They had a lot of other great songs, but that was their big hit.

197 - Bob Seger - No artist was more prolific during the 70's than Bob Seger, who had what seems like 40 classic rock hits between 1970 and 1979 alone. I'm not sure why I ranked Seger so low, but he should go up the next time around because while many of his songs are irritating, some are brilliant.

196 - Blondie - Blondie was a great New Wave band from the NYC '77 scene before becoming one of the biggest bands of the 80's when they started fusing New Wave with disco, making them one of the stars of the early years of MTV.

195 - Primal Scream - One of many great bands to rise from the ashes of the Stone Roses, Primal Scream has branched off in many different directions, failing at some, but succeeding wildly at most, making them one of the best bands of the post-Brit Pop era.

194 - Motorhead - The first great speed metal band, Motorhead inspired an entire generation of metalheads with their rapid-fire guitars and bad-ass attitude.

193 - Paul McCartney - The most commercially successful Beatle, McCartney mixed solo records in with his work with Wings to create some of the most annoying songs of all-time, but also some of the greatest.

192 - Jay-Z - One of the greatest and most popular rappers of all-time, Jay-Z has built an empire on the strength of his unique style and extraordinary lyrical skills.

191 - Stevie Wonder - One of the great survivors of Motown, Stevie Wonder is a living legend who's been topping the charts for over forty years now, moving seamlessly from Motown to funk to rock n roll.
