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):

"Walk, Don't Run" needs more love, for goodness sake! :excited:

1 more at least, and then it'll be tied for that fifth spot.

I know this is a packed group, but I'm a touch surprised that "The Girl from Ipanema" only has two votes.

She has another...great song!


"Puff" reminds me so much of my childhood...tooling around in the back of a '69 Charger (396 I think) with PP&M on the 8 track.

If anyone still hasn't cast a vote, keep in mind that one more vote would push "Walk, Don't Run" into a tie for fifth with "Travelin' Man". I like both very much, but how can we move on without the classic that is WDR?

No? :cry:

Still about 24 hours to go, but it's looking unlikely...
