Seriously name me a list of 10 household name millionaire rock stars that have appeared in the last 14 years.

The New Business Model may no longer require major labels and millionaire rock stars, but it gives anybody - ANYBODY! - with a lot of drive and computer savvy the opportunity to get a small piece of the pie on their own merits. Now, a person that would have been old, hairy, and ugly in the homogonized days-of-major-label yore can create a small niche for themselves in a worldwide market (thanks to the internet) and - Bonus! - if a song, video, or album goes viral
