    Default Great Music - Playoffs Round 2: 1990-1994 (Bracket 1 of 8)

    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):

    Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge (1991)


    Guns N' Roses - November Rain (1991)

    This is super duper tough. "November Rain" is an epic masterpiece and was played incessantly during my misspent youth by myself and my friends, so just the opening notes of this bring me back to those nostalgic times. "Under the Bridge" does that as well, but I didn't fully appreciate it till later. Now I think it's one of the best songs of the '90s.

    These are both great songs of the decade, but I have to be honest, Under the Bridge has been overplayed so much that I don't even enjoy it anymore. I still listen to and love November Rain. So November Rain gets my vote.

    I understand the "overplayed" argument but in my votes I try to be as objective as possible.

    I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum from "overplayed." I'm pretty sure I hadn't heard either one of these songs prior to this contest. My vote goes to Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge (1991)

    How the hell is that even possible?!

    Both of these songs are amazing.

    The choir in November Rain always gives me chills.

    Under the Bridge is about Anthony coming to terms with his drug addiction and how it was splintering the group.

    Yeah, but it does bring a fresh perspective to the voting, when I'm not predisposed either way.

    Under The Bridge was a new facelift to rock at the time. It got my vote.
    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

    Really? They pretty much provided the soundtrack for the entire decade of the 90s. You couldn't turn on a radio or watch MTV (back when they still played music once in a while) without hearing about the band or one of their songs.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    The poll has closed. "Under the Bridge" will face Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun (1994) in the Quarterfinals.
