Great Music - Round 1: 1975-1979 (Group 13 of 16)

[mae]

During the first round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to five tracks you would like to move onto the next round. The top five tracks will be moving on. Keep in mind that the percentage of the vote a given track receives will determine its standing going forward.

IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do listen to each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a track well, it's still worth giving it a listen for a refresher.

The poll will run for seven days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are (please let me know if any video doesn't play for you):

Can we get some more "Boogie Oogie Oogie" love? That's such an iconic song!

[divemaster]

Yep. It pretty much defined the soul/disco genre.

Fleetwood Mac and Gordon Lightfoot are tied for fifth with about 24 hours to go. And A Taste of Honey is just a vote away from making it a three-way.
