    Default Great Music - Tournament Finals: Round 2 (Matchup 6 of 13)

    For this finals poll, please choose one track to move on to the next round.

    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):

    Vaughn Monroe - Riders in the Sky (A Cowboy Legend) (1949)


    Seal - Kiss From a Rose (1995)

    Not sure it matters but I voted for Riders in the Sky. Hopefully someone else will get their vote in and break the tie before it closes later today.

    It's at 20 votes, and we've had 21+ in other threads (up to 25 or so). Someone should be able to break the tie for sure

    The poll has closed in a tie, but stated votes favored "Kiss From a Rose". It will face Eagles - Hotel California (1976) in the Quarterfinals.

    ooohhhhh grrrrr... Stockerlone, where have you been?

    anyway, KfaR is getting pulverized in the next thread; the same would probably be happening with Riders
