For this playoffs poll, please choose one track to move on to the Quarterfinals.

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):

That Mac tune is still played several times a day on a local Clear Channel radio station...not an oldies station.

It got my vote

Just a heads-up, stated votes are 5-4 in favor of "Go Your Own Way" and we're still tied.

Really? I'm a huge Queen fan but this track is kinda meandering and overlong for what it does.

Somebody to love is the better tune IMHO

Superior arrangement, vocals and melody.

Hoping for another vote so as not to involve tie-breaker. (Actually, this is true regardless of how that vote swings things).

The poll has closed in a tie, but stated votes favored "Go Your Own Way". It will face Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (1979) in the Quarterfinals.
