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):

I hope the Kix song won't be ignored but it's looking that way.

pablo, I remember you asked to point out any videos that are country-blocked.

There are two like that in this batch - Frankie Goes to Hollywood and The Stray Cats.

Thanks, pablo!

Worked like a charm for Frankie, but still no go for Stray Cats.

But I will find that specific song sans the video (I don't think I've heard it before, so need to listen before I vote).
