This is somthing whipped up after getting bored, these are you tube suggestions and some named here are not even to my taste or I havent had the chance to listen to them but from what Ive heard from most 'good' artists today, in interviews these artist's are some of the most influencial.
It only took a while so sorry if I missed some obvious ones.
Google works based on popular searches. As awesome as these past bands may be (I like most of them), why would people Google about them anymore? We need to move on...at least I need to. I've been stuck at listening to 70's/80's rock, and it is really pointless.
And to make my post completely pointless...here is a house track from 2001 but I think it still sounds fresh. It is probably my all time vocal house tune.
Oh. I thought it was Skin from Skunk Anansie. I am disappoint.
Skunk Anansie fuckin' rocks, dude. One of the top 3 bands I've seen live. It was Skunk Anansie up first, then Powerman 5000, Staind and Sevendust was the headliner. The entire place was still talking about Skunk Anansie after Sevendust left the stage. Something about a stick-thin and bald black chick that rocked harder than any of the guys in any of the other bands is just...fuckin rawk, dude.
