Ahem....I would just like to point out that 12 of the 16 winning musicians were Archer nominations......that is all.  ;D

[snin83]

Sam boasts too much...it was 11 of the 16.  ;D

[Corki]

*chuckles*

 

When I first counted them up, I thought it was 12, but it was only 11.

[Samuraiflip05]

Yeah I realized afterwards when I was checking some of the links....For some reason I thought Beastie Boys were ours as well.  ???

[Corki]

Well, I thought you had suggested the Chemical Brothers! lo!!

[Moghedian]

Hmmm...I thought it was a regimental competition so... ::)

[Taymist]

Now now people, it's a Battle of the Bands not a Battle of the Regiments  :P

[Samuraiflip05]

Yes, yes I know.....but, it is still fun to point out those kind of stats.  ;D
