1 Shinedown Shinedown is an American hard rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 2001 and founded by members Brent Smith, Brad Stewart, Jasin Todd, and Barry Kerch.

Shinedown are a Really awesome Hard Rock Band there in my view one of the better of the modern rock bands of today their just highly underrated for how much talent they have! The Lead Singer Brent Smith 's Voice & Story defiantly gives you a place of inspiration to gravitate to is your ever looking for a success story after dealing with a lot of demons and over coming them! I've seen Shinedown live and there very Energetic and there super awesome they just need that big moment to shine even more Though opening for great Bands like Nickelback & Kiss should make them really big now!

Chris Cornell is amazing. Best rock band of the 90s.

6 Santana Santana is an American Latin rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 1967 by Mexican-American guitarist Carlos Santana.

When it comes the legendary Guitarists Carlos Santana Always comes to mind for me because though he didn't sing much he's certainly more than just a master of the Guitar he's one of the bests ever! Oh and if you get asked to make a song with him you know you've made it into the music industry.
Song he's done that I enjoy: Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen, Into The Night (Feat Chad Kroeger of Nickelback), Smooth (Fest Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20), Why Don't You & I Feat Chad Kroeger & others
