Top 1000 Bands #110-#101

110 - The Ben Folds Five - One of the quirkiest songwriters of the 90's, Ben Folds created some of the best and most sarcastic singer-songwriter music ever made.

109 - Eric Clapton - Clapton has enjoyed a legendary career that few artists can match, but his solo work is his weakest in my opinion. That being said, it's still phenomenal and some of the best blues to come out of rock n roll in the last 30 years.

108 - Lynyrd Skynyrd - Southern rock doesn't get much better than Lynyrd Skynyrd. Aside from the long string of great songs, the band would be legendary if only from their two iconic songs: "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird".

107 - Simon And Garfunkel - Aside from Bob Dylan, there were no better examples of the folk genre than Simon And Garfunkel, a pair of the most brilliant songwriters of their generation who created songs that crossed over to the mainstream in ways the likes of Joan Baez never could.

106 - P.J. Harvey - One of the most dynamic singers of the 90's, P.J. Harvey's raw vocals and intense lyrics quickly established her as one of the greatest performers in all of alternative rock.

105 - Dinosaur Jr. - One of the best alternative rock bands of the 80's, Dinosaur Jr. was led by their legendary guitarist J. Mascis as they created some of the best guitar-driven alt-rock this side of Sonic Youth.

104 - The Allman Brothers - The finest band in all of Southern Rock, The Allman Brothers took blues rock and added their own style and accent to it, creating their own brand of the blues, highlighted by the all-time classic "Whippin' Post".

103 - Steely Dan - One of the biggest and best bands of the classic rock era, Steely Dan combined rock and soul styles to churn out a massive string of hits during the 70's.

102 - Fleetwood Mac - Rock's biggest dysfunctional family, Fleetwood Mac created one of the best albums of the classic rock era with Rumours. They never quite reached that high again in their career, but they still became one of the biggest bands of all-time.

101 - The Police - The most successful New Wave band of the 70's and 80's, The Police only had a few albums to their name, but they still managed to become one of the biggest bands of their generation with their reggae and punk inflected classic rock.
