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):

We need more votes for Some Velvet Morning. Such a beautiful song. Lee and Nancy did a bunch of wonderful duets. Their voices work so well together.

Have you listened to their other songs Pablo. They're easily my favorite duet pair.

Summer Wine is my other favorite. I don't think I had a chance to nominate though.

They're great, yeah. And her "Boots" song is also in this tournament and it's kickass.

P.S.: Is it just me or were women especially sexy in the '60s? :fairy:

Can we break the tie with about 24 hours to go?
