	Some notes: -artists who only topped the indie chart together have been yoked together (see: "Godstar"); those where one of the group had other indie chart-toppers are seperate (which is why "Rok Da House" appears twice) -yes, PWL were technically an independent label! -game 'inspired' (in the same way as in the phrase 'the Great Train Inspiration') by bazmerelda's UK chart-topping artists quizzes: http://www.sporcle.com/user/bazmerelda/contributed -any complaints about alternates or anything, leave a comment. Sorry you can't have M\|A\|R\|R\|S or M/A/R/R/S. -"SAVE YOUR LOVE"?!?!? -only three New Order singles in the period didn't reach No. 1; only four Smiths singles didn't. -Aztec Camera = indiest name ever.

	Good question, kicking myself about not getting some of them. One thing - it's best to set it so it accepts last names, otherwise people (cough me) may put in, say, 'Minogue' for I Should Be So Lucky, not have anything come up and assume it to have been a cover that they don't know about. Other than that though, good stuff!

	Fair enough. Not set it to accept last names (otherwise people would be able to type in "Order" or "Division" or "Mode") but I've added alternates so all the actual people have their last names accepted. Tell me if I've missed any.

	Ok, apparently I don't listen to enough 80s music. I did rubbish. Knew half the bands once I'd seen them but just couldn't connect artists to the song names in my head.
