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):

More Than a Feeling is the perfect jam to rock out to.

Fat Bottomed Girls discusses my favorite subject matter so I had to vote for it.

Yes, Sir Mix-A-Lot espoused those bottoms in an upcoming nomination from the early '90s.

But how come "Welcome to the Machine" is last?
