Došlo je i to doba godine - vrijeme je za treći pot listin March Madness. Skužili smo da je prvi, R.E.M. Madness, bio uzbudljiviji od prošlogodišnjeg kada smo suprotstavili najbolje pjesme čak četiri benda naše mladosti (Smashing Pumpkins, Pavement, Nirvana i Guns N' Roses). Ispalo je da je puno veća fora kada se u bracketu nalaze samo pjesme jednog benda pa smo se ove godine više-manje jednoglasno odlučili na izbor samo jednog kultnog izvođača ili legendarnog benda s golemom diskografijom. Uslijedilo je vijećanje, davanje ozbiljnih, neozbiljnih i suludih prijedloga i kada je izgledalo da će se još jednom pokazati da demokracija ne može donijeti dobro rješenje, spas je stigao u zadnji čas! Iron Maiden su potvrdili da 31. srpnja ponovo dolaze u Hrvatsku u sklopu svojevrsnog remakea legendarne 7th Tour of a 7th Tour turneje iz 1988. Gdje ćeš bolji povod?! A tek oduševljenje jedinim logičnim naslovom za ovogodišnje ludilo: Can I Play With March Madness?

Da se radi o idealnom bendu za March Madness dokaz su muka i frustracija koju smo zadnjih par tjedna podijelili s vanjskim suradnikom, punokrvnim Maiden fanom, Vlahom Aničićem kojemu se ovim putem zahvaljujemo na razumijevanju jer smo iz njegove liste trebali izbaciti nekoliko pjesama kako bi zadovoljili pokoju želju fanova iz uredništva pot liste.

Dakle, odabrali smo 68 pjesama sa svih studijskih albuma, postavili nositelje i ispunili bracket, a preko anketa na našim stranicama moći ćete glasati za svoje favorite. Princip je isti kao i prethodnih godina - ankete će pratiti odigravanje najluđeg sportskog natjecanja na svijetu - turnira sveučilišne, NCAA košarke. Datumi su sljedeći:
• First Round - 19. i 20. ožujka
• Second Round - 21. i 22. ožujka
• Third Round - 23.i 24. ožujka
• Sweet 16 - 28. i 29. ožujka
• Elite Eight - 30. i 31. ožujka
• Final Four - 5. i 6. travnja
• Championship - 7. i 8. travnja

Nakon svih sedam rundi pobjednik našeh March Madnessa je:

"Hallowed Be Thy Name"
