Go to the Style page and change "Group by same clue" to either "Don't Group" or "4 Columns" because the "Two columns" choice is making players scroll too much for this to be fun. And add a source.

Looks better. Some spelling errors: Pinball
Wizard
. Nightboat to
Cairo
. "
The
Drugs Don't Work". "
Englishman
in New York" (one word). Add apostrophes on Heaven Knows
I'm
Miserable Now * the "He's" on the 2nd last item. I'm not very familiar with the artist but is "Once Around the Blick" right?

Gary Numan is on here and Dusty Springfield and the Buzzcocks are not? That is absurd.

I think I've finally tracked down the source of this list. It matches the list at
http://thrillz.4.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=351 posted in 2005 (which probably explains the lack of Muse). It just seems to be a personal list, but frankly, not a bad one. I'd call the list 100 great UK acts, but not "greatest" seems a bit too much.

Is anyone else deeply disturbed that the Jimi Hendrix Experience is not on this list?

@afrodude: While I guess they could technically be considered British, Hendrix being American certainly weighs down their argument.

@Mikeyvillz: U2 are Irish not British. It would like including Nickelback in a list of 100 Greatest American acts.
Well actually is would be nothing like that. Nothing at all like that. Maybe Celine Dion. Uh... Bryan Adams? Justin Bieber?
Okay, all kidding aside it would be like listing Neil Young in the Greatest American acts.
