During the third round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to two tracks you would like to move onto the playoffs. The top two 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):

Platters and Chuck Berry. Johnny B. Goode is really one of the greatest rock n roll songs ever.

Yes. Hoping "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" gets more love.

I love Why Do Fools Fall In Love, but couldn't pick it over Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

Also, I can't hear it (along with tons of over songs) without thinking of American Graffiti.
