Top 100 Favorite Bands (Brainstorm)

Includes Solo Artists. does NOT include composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Andrew Lloyd Weber, John Williams, Danny Elfman, etc.

These aren't in any particular order.  I'm just writing them down as I think of them.  I'm also brainstorming on the account that I come up with enough that a good number of them will be excluded.  Of course, when this list is posted, we will know how many bands I will ultimately brainstorm.  I also plan on writing a commentary about the finalized Top 100 list due to the few bands on here that are either local or obscure finds.
