Edit to add the myspace page, which has some streaming audio. :D
Edited again after listening to the myspace songs. While good, these aren't really representative of the high energy tunes/instrumentation and progressive lyrics (from a UK prospective) that I really enjoy them for. There are lots of youtube clips, but all seem to be from cellphones with crappy sound quality. :(

7. I am partial to Three Dog Night

[taterguy]

9. Oh FFS

No room for Hootie and the Blowfish in your little poll?

[flvegan]

10. The Pussycat Dolls

And yes, they count.

[CreekDog]

12. Chipmunks deserve more votes than Great White

Yeeeick!

[ironflange]

13. What about. . .

The Animals?



"There is a house in New Orleans. . ."

[Bucky]

15. The Animals are not named after AN animal, so they don't qualify

How come T-Rex isn't on this list? Oh, wait, they're extinct.

[Va Lefty]

17. Ratt

[lightningandsnow]

18. The Dixie Chicks

It's a stretch, but they're definetly my top pick.
