[mae]

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

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):

Holy crapola!
This is an agonizing choice!

[mae]

That's why we're here :excited:

[St. Troy]

In The Air Tonight

[mae]

We can actually have a Prince/MJ final here, two of the biggest pop artists of that era, but you cannot go against Phil here. What a tremendously amazing song.

[Jean]

Holy crapola!
This is an agonizing choice!
No, no, sweetheart, there doesn't have to be anything agonizing about it.
Just vote Collins and get it over with.

[ladysai]

While I love Purple Rain, I had to vote for In the Air Tonight because of the drums. Iconic hardly covers it.

[mae]

Yeah. I've heard it close to a billion times probably but each time those drums start booming I get goosebumps.

[Twoguysdarktower]

I was expecting more of a sympathy vote for Prince here.

The poll has closed. "In the Air Tonight" will face Michael Jackson - Thriller (1982) in the Finals.
