Happy Music Monday! For those who don't know, each year we do a special March Bracket Event on our site. This year's rules are simple. We've created four brackets ('70s, '80s, '90s and '00s) and picked sixteen one-hit wonders for each one. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday in March, you'll be able to vote via our Facebook page.
You can also play along at home with your very own bracket full of initials! We used initials because the song/artist combo didn't fit onto one page. You can find out what they all stand for on the master list right here. Use all that information to make your own brackets in advance, and post 'em to the comments of this thread. You might just win a trophy! Seriously! We're gonna give away real trophies at the end of this thing.
We'll be selecting trophy winners in three categories: Most Right Answers, Least Right Answers, and Prettiest Hand-Made Bracket. See? You can be right, or you can be wrong, or you can be talented. You've got until Monday to post your brackets in the comments of this thread for trophy consideration. Or you can just be lazy and play along by voting via our Facebook page every Wednesday and Friday. Follow your heart.
Today's matchups are between the one-hit wonders of the 1970s. Take a look at Scott and Kathleen playing Velvet Underground with our cool bracket wall and see the full list of contestants.
