With the holidays upon us, many of us at The Current are looking forward to seeing our families, especially our brothers and sisters, which had us thinking about all the great sibling bands. Siblings have a shared history that doesn't include other band mates, which can lead to brilliant harmonies, legendary discord, and everything in between.

We partnered with our friends at Slacker Radio to create Sibling Rivalry, a countdown of the top 35 sibling bands. We'll cover the functional and dysfunctional, and we'll ping pong from Rock to Soul to Bubblegum Pop to bring you the best sibling bands. Some of the bands are legendary, and some you might be surprised to learn include siblings.

So this holiday season, sit back with your brothers and sisters, grab some leftover pie and enjoy the countdown. Happy Holidays from The Current.

There are a ton of great artists to choose from; here are some you'll hear on this station: Bee Gees, Van Halen, Heart, INXS, Haim, Dixie Chicks, Jesus and Mary Chain, Bangles, The National ...and more!
