Nominate Your Favorite Detroit Musician of All Time for WDET’s Music Madness Bracket

It’s almost impossible to compare musicians from across the diverse sonic landscape of the Motor City. But it’s fun to try. Submit nominations now.

Update: Nominations for the 2020 Detroit Music Madness Bracket have been extended. Submit your nominations now.

From the sweet soul of Motown to the funk and futurism of Detroit techno to unrelenting rock and roll, Detroit is defined by sound. 

In a region that has seen blues, gospel, jazz, pop, soul, rock and roll, punk, techno, hip hop, and more flourish, it’s nearly impossible to pinpoint the most influential band or musician that ever called the Detroit-area home.

But that doesn’t mean we’re not going to try.


Submit Your Nomination for the 2020 Detroit Music Madness Bracket »


We’re excited to announce our 2020 Detroit Music Madness Bracket. 64 Detroit-area bands and musicians. 6 rounds of voting. 1 champion.

We can’t do it alone; nominate your favorite Detroit (or Michigan) musician or band from any decade for WDET’s 2020 Detroit Music Madness bracket.
