10,000 Maniacs

Led by vocalist Natalie Merchant, 10,000 Maniacs combined danceable rhythms, jangly guitars, catchy melodies, and liberal politics to create a super-accessible version of 1980s college rock. The band broke into the mainstream with a cover of Cat Stevens's classic "Peace Train," and followed up with a string of successful, well-crafted albums. After Merchant left the band for a successful solo career, 10,000 Maniacs soldiered on, but failed to recapture the public's attention.
