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):

When I was little, my older cousin had Iron Maiden posters in his room and when I went in there they scared me. So I never really listened to their music until I was older.

Ha. Ha. "Blondie" is the group. Deborah ("Debbie") Harry is the blonde goddess.

But I know what you meant. :)

I didn't want to take a chance someone not knowing Debbie's name.
