Great Music - Round 1: 2000-2004 (Group 1 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):

I prefer Cash's version of Hurt over NIN.

[Tommy]

I like 'em both about the same but I do listen to NIN's version much more often than Cash's. I've seen NIN five times live now. Never disappointed, ever. The video for NIN's "Hurt" is live and different from the track listed in the 90's. It's very cool if you haven't seen it.
