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):

I'll be surprised if Stairway to Heaven doesn't come out on top this round.

Zeppelin was an easy choice but I could listen to the Bill Withers song on repeat for hours. I love the strings in that song. Just wish it wasn't so short.

I am fully shocked that "Baba O'Riley" is in last.

Baba O'Riley is certainly one of the most iconic songs out there, but look what it's up against.

At this point it doesn't really matter which two songs I pick in each matchup. I'm going to feel bad about leaving off one if not both of the other two.

Too bad Withers got mixed up in this group.

O'Riley is out?

Second best Who tune ever.

What a teenage wasteland.
