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):

For me the best non-Nirvana song from their Unplugged show was "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". If that was the nomination it would no doubt have my vote. It's a really beautiful piece and was the last song performed during the show and essentially was the last Nirvana song.

That is one of the great ones. His voice on that one is incredible.

I am surprised that the REM tune isn't doing better.
