    Radiohead, Guns N' Roses Make Mark Ronson's Top-99 Acts List

    Radiohead, Guns N' Roses and The Smiths have all made a list of producer Mark Ronson's top-99 favourite acts.

    Duran Duran, The Strokes and David Bowie also made the countdown, which was published by Ronson's collaborators the Kaiser Chiefs.

    Ronson told the Guardian newspaper that he chose not to list the acts numerically to avoid giving it "some sort of order".
