500. Mercury Rev
The Prodigy were one of the most successful electronic bands of the 1990’s, but there were many who did not necessarily view them as electronic.

Out of Buffalo, New York, Mercury Rev did not exactly come from a musical hot spot, but they are one of those rare American bands that are bigger overseas than they are in their native country.

Running the gamut of alternative rock styles, Mercury Rev always managed to gain critical respect though that never really translated a lot to commercial sales, but they still have a very good catalogue and might see their name tossed around (for a minute) by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee.
