Great Music - Round 1: 1970-1974 (Group 1 of 16)

[mae]

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):

Intentionally left Freebird off. It doesn't need my vote.
Will also leave off Stairway to Heaven when I see it.

Free bird on the film duets is a really good version! I just hope john Lennon doesn't make it.

Reserving judgement on Yoko Ono, I've never met her.... However, John Lennon was a musical genius!

Genius?? Sorry but I have to question your sanity! Only made it because of Paul ! Even Harrison left him for dead in the talent department!!!
