We have a remarkable 244 entries into the UK Rock Superstars Tournament. They will be sorted into 61 groups of 4 for the tournament to begin on Monday, May 22nd. Based on the number of nominations and other popularity factors I've sorted the entries into four pots. I will create the groups by randomly selecting one rock act from each pot for each group.
The names of all the participants are below the cut. If you find that there's a GRIEVOUS omission of a great UK rock band or solo artist, please notify me by the end of the day Friday. After that, the participants list will be final.

On September 5, 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 into space. 45 years later, it's still careening around interstellar space and sending data back to us here on Earth. Aboard that spacecraft is the Golden Record, filled with popular music and a message to extraterrestrials from the people and animals of Earth. The album was produced by Timothy Ferris. On this show, we reimagine, update, and produce new tracks ready for space.
