The Current’s March Music Madness is here. This year, we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of the amazing albums released in 1994.

We’ve identified 64 of the best albums of 1994 to go head-to-head to determine the top record of the year. Between Monday, March 18, and Thursday, March 21, we’re playing songs on-air as part of each daily matchup.

Every day, from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., we’ll open a new matchup for voting every half hour. At the end of the day on Thursday, we’ll announce the top album of 1994, as voted by The Current’s listeners.
