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

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):

Finally an easy one for me!

Poor Del has no chance. (An awesome song still and one of my favorites.)

[St. Troy]

The House Of The Rising Sun

Yea, a real unfortunate match-up for Del. I'm thinking we are going to see a showdown of The Animals vs. Simon and Garfunkel eventually.

House of the Rising Sun. Easy.

I think you're right on that prediction. And I know I keep repeating myself, but I could really see House of the Rising Sun winning the entire thing.

That I'm not sure about.

[Jon]

I'm pulling for American Pie.

[Jean]

oh shit!!!!!!! i don't want to vote here

I'll vote House of the Rising Sun, of course, because it is incredible, because it is epoch-forming, because it is everything!! but it's getting so hard now, when bears have to choose between musics that form the essence of their souls

[mae]

The poll has closed. "The House of the Rising Sun" will face Ben E. King - Stand By Me (1961) in the Semifinals.

I like how there was a lone vote against "The House of the Rising Sun" :)

[Lurker]

I'm proud of that vote. I went with the one on my IPod.
