Zhit, how'd i miss this one. lol
#375 Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters - I only know this one song. I think they had/have Louisville connections, or at least Lexington. I remember local paper did an interview with the burly hipster looking dude that plays guitar and is/was their main song(music) writer. And then that same week, or following weekend, they were the musical guest on SNL.
After that I hadn't heard them in years. Then about 4-5 yrs back I was at one of the local dive bars/taverns that is local neighborhood'ish crowds. Typical blue-collar and mainly Trump supporters. Went out on the deck for a smoke with couple ole buds, and when we went back in their only song I know was playing on jukebox. I was totally baffled. I was looking around like "Who da fuk would've played that song out of this group of people?"

#114 is a solid debut album from Cage The Elephant. I may be a bit partial to those guys from WKY/ Bowling Green Ky.
The 1st song really set the tone for the whole album.
Comment -
#92 RHCP - By The Way - IMO wasn't one of their strongest albums. But a few decent jams on there.
This vid I think helped the single out just because of how wacky it was.
Comment -
#86 Audioslave -Audioslave - Is such a banger of an album. So many solid jams on this one. CC was such an unbelievable singer/songwriter.
Comment -
#83 Gorillaz -Gorillaz - Another great album.
Comment -
#67 Ryan Adams - Gold - I remember this one song being in heavy rotation. I think the vid actually came out right after 9/11 - but at beginning of video they state they filmed it just days before. Which makes it a bittersweet feeling watching it and listening to the lyrics love letter to NYC.
Comment -
#73 Eminem - The Eminem Show - A few bangers. Cleaning Out my Closet gets the most hype off this album, but I always liked this one...

Hot Fuss #8
That's about right.
One of the greatest breakthrough debut albums of all time.Comment -
Well, technically it came out in 1999...but close enough!...
and the Afroman colt 45 and two zig zags!...

Wow these guys have a giant boner for my morning jacket and wilcoComment -
Most voting was probably from Louisvillians, or ex-Louisvillians. My Morning Jacket is probably one of the biggest/popular/well-known bands to ever come from The-Ville.
I never got into Wilco. I think they're decent, just not my style. But locally a lot of people enjoy them and they are played on WFPK and other local stations, quite often.Comment
