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):

"Intro" by The xx is such a great song, my favorite by them. Not only is it the Intro for the album but also an intro to The xx. It defines their sound perfectly There's a ten hour loop of it on Youtube.

It's great and iconic. I was hoping that remix of "Reunion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Lp8hb6UYo)" could also get in, but alas...

UGH....putting each tune into YouTube is a PITA!

I'd wait till things get straight with this ISP and the spoiler tags but these mid to end of 2000s polls close in mere hours!

Weird to see Weird Al at the top. And the original wasn't even seconded.
