57. Lacuna Coil - Inspired by the combination of gothic imagery and music, the members have been known, musically, for composing midtempo songs consisting of prominent guitar lines and contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic, detached sound.

60. Lifehouse - The band came to mainstream prominence in 2001 with the hit single "Hanging by a Moment" from their debut studio album, No Name Face.  They have released three more albums: the self-titled Lifehouse in 2005, Who We Are on June 19, 2007 and Smoke & Mirrors on March 2, 2010.
