    Default Great Music - Playoffs Round 2: 1995-1999 (Bracket 8 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):

    Santana feat. Rob Thomas - Smooth (1999)


    Seal - Kiss From a Rose (1995)

    I posted this about "Smooth" before when it came up for voting in earlier rounds, but it's a really important song in the history of music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_%28song%29

    ""Smooth" is the only song to appear on two decade-end Billboard charts. As of 2013, "Smooth" is ranked the second most successful song of all time by Billboard."

    That and it's a fucking badass song.

    That's surprising. Both are great tunes, but "Smooth" is just insane. That infectious guitar solo towards the end is amazing. So fun. This is really one of my favorite songs of all time, a masterpiece.

    I don't know how to really elaborate on that.

    I don't like the sound or style of either of them. I never did.

    They speak to me.

    KFAR says sit down, listen to what I have to say.

    Smooth says run! flee the horror!

    I honestly cannot see how one would not enjoy "Smooth".

    "Smooth" is a good song but I've never liked it. I can't give a more specific reason than that. "AKFAR" has always been a beautiful, earnest song that makes me think about the finer parts of being in love.

    I read the article and looked at the charts...I don't see it on any decade ending year except 1999. Please explain. Even if true this seems like a novelty

    I voted or Seal. The tune is soooo beautiful. A display of several vocal talents and good arrangement.

    The poll has closed. "Kiss From a Rose" will face Oasis - Wonderwall (1995) in the Quarterfinals.
