Ok last 14 years? Lets see:

Paramore
Creed
Nickelback
3 days grace
Halestorm
Linkin Park
Blink 182
Disturbed
The Black Keys
Shinedown
3 Doors Down

Some of these probably started at or on the fringe of that 14 year mark. But all of them have had major success within the past 14 years, and most of them still see big success today.
