Great Music - Playoffs Round 2: 1985-1989 (Bracket 1 of 8)

[mae]

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):

[Merlin1958]

GNR!!!!!!!!!

[Ben Staad]

Yikes! This one is very tough for me. They are both great songs with associations to me at different points in my adolescent life. I may not vote and just be happy for the winner.

[mae]

I am shocked to see only one vote (mine) out of eight so far for "Master"...

[Ben Staad]

That is surprising. Master of Puppets is an amazing song.

[Iwritecode]

What the hell? My favorite song by my favorite band and it's losing to GnR?

Not that I dislike GnR but really...?

[Jean]

three... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif.html)http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif.html)http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif.html)

[St. Troy]

Master Of Puppets

[mae]

I like GNR fine, and voted for them in another bracket, but this is not their best while this is Metallica's signature tune, I feel. At least '80s Metallica.

[Jean]

four! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif.html)http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif.html)http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif.html)http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif (http://s91.photobucket.com/user/mishemplushem/media/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif.html)
now at least it doesn't look as disastrous

[Ben Staad]

Both songs will have me signing along in my car but only one will having me signing and playing "air" drums while driving. ;-)

[mae]

Come on, "Master", now just three votes back :excited:

[Jon]

Master!! Master!!

Where's the votes that I've been after?

[Tommy]

Favorites from both. Difficult.

[mae]

Master!! Master!!

Where's the votes that I've been after?


Now it's just two votes back. Still plenty of votes that can be made as we're only at 16 so far :excited:

[mae]

Looks like "Master of Puppets" has pulled its last string :cry:

[St. Troy]

Hey, there's still time (or should I say tie-ee-ime?)

[mae]

The poll has closed. "Sweet Child O' Mine" will face REM - It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) (1987) in the Quarterfinals.

[Jon]

Is this the last of true metal in the tournament?
