210 - Wilco - The biggest stars of the alt country scene, Wilco has created some of the most important indie rock albums of all-time.
209 - The New Pornographers - A pop-flavored indie band that produces great album after great album and serves as a launching pad for the solo careers of the many talented members of the band.
208 - The Flaming Lips - One of the quirkiest rock bands of all-time, the Lips struck gold with their Yoshimi concept album.
207 - Guided By Voices - Even if they only had one good song on each of their 953 albums and EP's, Guided By Voices would be one of the great alternative bands of all-time. By my count, they have approximately 1.1, so they're good to go.
206 - Jefferson Airplane - One of the biggest bands of the 60's, Jefferson Airplane had huge hits with "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit" before taking one bad trip too many and ending up as some sort of abomination called Jefferson Starship.
205 - Todd Snider - One of the best folk singers of his generation, Todd Snider has released a long series of clever and entertaining country folk albums over the past decade.
204 - Sheryl Crow - She's fallen on hard times recently, but back in the 90's, Crow was an innovative, creative and interesting artist who produced quality hit after hit. She doesn't anymore.
203 - The Offspring - Surprisingly, The Offspring is still around and making chart-clobbering hits. Ignore the stupid novelty songs and focus on the punk lyrics and rapid-fire guitars that have been the cornerstone of the band for nearly 20 years.
202 - Social Distortion - You wouldn't think that country and punk would go together very well, but Social Distortion blended them together to make some of the most unique and clever songs of the 80's.
201 - The Sounds - Another great indie band that no one has ever heard of, The Sounds have released a series of brilliant albums, but no major breakthrough as of yet.
