Journey, Stevie and Buddy

#12 (707) Erykah Badu
Nobody sounds quite like Erykah Badu. Don't care for Nicks' solo stuff.
#3 (190) The Isley Brothers
I think 'The Freshmen' is one of the best songs of 1997, but it's their only particularly good song.
#11 (702) Blind Melon
Kaiser Chiefs are one of those post-Strokes clones.
