MTV's Musical March Madness Begins: Did Your Favorite Artist Make The Cut?

It's back! MTV's fifth-annual Musical March Madness tournament tips off today, as 64 bands and artists begin the quest for the championship. [.....] Can Tokio Hotel become the first band to win two #MMM championships? Or will 2014 belong to upstarts like Fall Out Boy or Imagine Dragons? Actually, it could be anybody's year; for the first time, we asked the fans to decide the artists that would compete for the 2014 title, by tweeting their picks @MTVNews using the hashtag #MMM ... and their suggestions help shape the best field in #MMM history. Truly, the 2014 tournament has it all: heavyweights like Linkin Park, the Black keys and Foo Fighters, up-and-coming talents like Lorde, the 1975, Bastille and 5 Seconds Of Summer, and a whole lot of first timers, including Bring Me The Horizon, A Day To Remember, We Are The In Crowd and Haim.

EAST REGION

Ah, the Erudite East, home to buzzy blog bands, indie rock acts and, once again, Tokio Hotel, who have won the region each time they've ended up here, and are probably the odds-on favorites to do it again in 2014. They draw #6 Korn in the opening round, and may not be tested again until the Sweet 16, where #2 Lorde could be waiting for them.
