Great Music - Round 1: 2010-2014 (Group 2 of 16)

[mae]

During the first round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to five tracks you would like to move onto the next round. The top five tracks will be moving on. Keep in mind that the percentage of the vote a given track receives will determine its standing going forward.

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):

Daughtry - Waiting For Superman (2013)

Primary feat. Zion.T - Let's Meet (2012)

Daft Punk - The Game of Love (2013)

N'to - Trauma (Worakls Remix) (2012)

One Republic - Counting Stars (2013)

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can't Hold Us (2012)

Björk - Crystalline (2011)

That "Trauma" track has to be one of my very top favorites for this time period. I love the way it builds and builds, with newer and newer layers of sound. It's just such an enjoyable and evocative piece of music. It should be way ahead here.

With about 24 hours to go there are only nine votes here. Time to get voting, peeps!
