Editor’s Note:  It’s been an unusual week as Coronavirus has swept the world and caused mass hysteria.  People buying up toilet paper, hand sanitizer, medicine and all kinds of cleaning products.  It has shut down March Madness, NBA, and halted all the major sports.  Concerts have been postponed as well.  Several states such as California, New York and Illinois are having statewide lockdowns to try to flatten this curve on the Coronavirus.  At Madness To Creation, we want YOU to rock out to this Spotify playlist, however, please be mindful of your own health and the public health as a whole.  Wash your hands, stay home if you’re sick and just be mindful, and stay at home unless it’s absolutely necessary.  In the meantime, enjoy this playlist as you’re hunkered down and quarantined from the masses.  This too shall pass.  We added 24 bonus songs this week!
