Next week, March Music Madness returns to The Current. This time, March Music Madness looks back 30 years to the best albums of 1992. It’s hard to believe it was 30 years ago that Mall of America opened, the long-gone Metrodome in Minneapolis hosted the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four, Seinfeld gave us the catchphrase "master of your domain," and CDs were absolutely everywhere.

You can go to the March Music Madness page on our website right now to explore the bracket and start making your predictions about which albums from 1992 will make it through to the championship. Then be sure to play along from Tuesday, March 15, to Friday, March 18!

And to help us get our brackets ready for March Music Madness, let's turn our thoughts back 30 years. For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs released in 1992 do you want to hear?
