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):

Pat Benatar needs some more votes, but all of these are amazing songs. The Phil Collins track is an obvious favorite to go far in the playoffs (that famous drum break at 3:40 alone is enough to place this as one of the very best of the '80s). And the Billy Idol and Bon Jovi songs are iconic and memorable tunes as well. But there's just something about "Love Is a Battlefield" that makes me feel good like few songs can.
