You’ve been voting on the best albums of 2005 all week long and you even helped decide this year’s winner! March Music Madness started with 64 albums released twenty years ago – the same year The Current launched – but many more didn’t make their way onto a bracket.

Today, let’s highlight some albums that didn’t make the playoffs. Let’s create a playlist of honorable mentions.

So, for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs from albums that didn’t make the March Music Madness bracket would you like to hear?
