BONUS: Live 105's Top 25 Soundcheck Bands of 2001

Oh, the things you find on The Wayback Machine. Soundcheck is Live 105's weekly new music show, hosted by Music Director Aaron Axelsen, that's been airing since 1998. I don't know if they've done an artist retrospective every year, but they certainly did in 2001. It's interesting how most of these bands went on to something bigger (especially AFI, who the station was an early supporter of and would have their mainstream breakthrough less than two years later.)

Sorry about the wonky formatting. This is what happens when you copy directly from an old webpage.
