Congratulations to all winners!

However, I must say, if I knew there was a Biggest Fan catagory, I would have sent a better Christmas gift.

If I had known there was going to be a biggest fan category, I wouldn't have sent that big suitcase full of money and the letter requesting the biggest fan category and that I be named it.

Though, it should be noted that "biggest fan" is latin for "largest general nuissance"

At any rate, I'd like to thank all those that made this possible. My agent. My assistant. The director. My hair stylist…

You Missed The Band...

I like much of the music represented but after I came across the band Inoke Errati I feel they should have been in there somewhere. Catchiest Hook for sure.
Otherwise good choices!
