75 - Phoenix



It's 20 seconds til the last call

Starting the second quarter of bands at number 75 is Phoenix. Phoenix is a French alternative rock band, surprisingly the only one on the countdown...

Wiki - Phoenix is a French[1] alternative rock band founded by Thomas Mars, Deck D'Arcy, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz in Versailles. (thanks wikipedia)

Discography -

United (2000)
Alphabetical (2004)
It's Never Been Like That (2006)
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (2009)

Phoenix exploded into the European scene with mainstream success resulting from their album Alphabetical. It's Never Been Like That expanded their base into America a little bit, but it was the massive success of Wolfgang that really broke the bank for them.
