The Current's March Madness
March 24, 2014

Here at The Current, we love all music and don't believe it should be judged or criticized. No one artist is better than another and all our kids are above average.
Who are we kidding? It's March Madness time and there's nothing more fun than judging, criticizing, and arguing about who's gonna be in the Final Four.
So while the Gophers didn't even show up in the brackets this year -- and a whole lot of great bands didn't make our cut either -- we're giving you the opportunity to determine the outcome in The Currents March Madness!
Like the NCAA bracket, we've got 64 bands, but unlike the NCAA,
we're running match-ups every half hour in an online vote-off.
Strokes vs. the White Stripes!
The Cure vs. Depeche Mode!
The Beastie Boys vs. Outkast!
Most important, it's not skill or athletic acumen that are the determining factors -- you decide!
So follow along Tuesday through Friday this week and help crown The Currents March Madness champion!
(No billion dollar prize attached, but you will feel the satisfaction of knowing that you helped a famous artist claim a meaningless title.)
