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):

This one is super fucking tough. All four are legitimate classics. After much back and forth I must go with "Comfortably Numb" and "The Sultans of Swing". The other two are just below that, musically-speaking.

Likely one of Jackson's best tunes but Reaper and Numb are the classics to me.
