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):

It's gotta be one of the best covers of all time, come on. So much better than the original.

that's right... or maybe not. It mean, it is awesome, but I don't think it is better than the original; but my point is different.

it seems to me unfair to vote for a cover - what am I voting for? performance and arrangements? but I intended to vote for the whole of a song, and it is the music first of all, the lyrics, their union, all that stuff that comes from the author and/or first performer. - speaking, as usual, only about my own perception of these things (which is not even consistent, anyway - I've already been voriing covers here)

I voted Cocker here but "Bad Moon Rising" is quite a timely song indeed.

Yes. I Find it intellectually confusing too.
