Red Mosquito

I was gonna add a fantastic rockabilly band I saw in Austin about eighteen years ago but I couldn't remember their name but now I see that I shouldn't have even bothered!

Name?

49. Johnny Cash

Part rockabilly rebel, part campfire storyteller, part outlaw in black, his hearty baritone has remained the essence of country music.

48. Modest Mouse

Pacific Northwest indie rockers who became unlikely chart-toppers with a volatile mix of punk-inspired rawness and simmering atmosphere.

47. Fugazi

The thinking person's hardcore band, with an independent D.I.Y. ethos and a musical focus on free-form experimentalism.

46. Fiona Apple

Acclaimed performer whose angst-ridden, piano-based songs represented a new stage in the female singer/songwriter movement.

45. Iron Maiden

At the forefront of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and a major metal contender from the late '70s into the 21st century.

44. Mogwai

Scottish post-rock pioneers whose music grew more ambitious and diverse during their decades-long career.

43. Rage Against the Machine

Outspoken Los Angeles firebrands who blend rap, punk, funk, and metal with politically charged urgency.

42. Wilco

Critically acclaimed Chicago band initially connected to the No Depression neo-country scene, later emerging as an experimental-rock powerhouse.

41. Kate Bush

Haunting second-wave art rocker who was critically deified in the 1980s thanks to her tasteful, intelligent, and stimulating songwriting.

40. Elliott Smith

Acclaimed indie singer/songwriter with an affecting presence and evocative lyricism who died tragically young.

This is a really good list (with a few exceptions) so far but I have a feeling it's gonna take a nosedive in the top twenty.

Still on 0.

Maiden and Cash on my list.

I got 2 - Tori & Elliott Smith

i have 5 (kate bush, broken social scene, elliott smith, nick drake, fugazi), pleasantly surprised

I have 8 (Phoebe Bridgers, Sonic Youth, Grimes, Yo La Tengo, The War on Drugs, Godspeed, My Bloody Valentine, and Broken Social Scene), and I could easily see another 5-7 show up.

I had Cash in this group.

Fiona & Fleet Foxes are my only 87ers.

I know I'll have more because from other lists posted I've seen some of my picks at least two other times!

Good Job, Argo. Keep up the good work, Argo. Don't fuck it up now, Argo!

Flametrick Subs w. Satan's Cheerleaders.

You really had to be there.

I forgot about Kate Bush, really glad to see her make it this high

this so far is very different from the 06 list. i suspect that changes soon.

great work all

Still 0-fer - probably as we get closer to the top.

9 so far for me.

Zero.

That's because all of mine will be in the gay top 39

I know my Grateful Dead will not appear as 99 with the the Beach Boys at 100 this time around

Edit: not that I was here in 2006 mind you

I've got three from my list so far. Godspeed, Broken Social Scene, and Mogwai.

ok what the heck let's keep it moving...
