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):

Band on the Run and Knockin' on Heaven's Door. No question about it.

Tough group. I hated to NOT vote for Mungo.

I did vote for Mungo!

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but Band on the Run is one of the few songs I actually despise. Everything about it just grates on me. The opening measures are enough to send me to switch stations immediately. (I have the same reaction to Benny and the Jets; but at least we had the good sense to not nominate that POS song). Alas, we still have to deal with Wings. (Nothing I've ever heard from Wings is worth a crap).

Please for the love of God, let Pink Floyd and someone else (anyone else) beat out Wings.
