Great Music - Round 1: 2005-2009 (Group 14 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):

Only ten votes in here but we have a tie for fifth with "Walker" and "Rule the World". Still close all around.

I didn't do any research but I like the "original" from Roxette better. Gah, I am so old.

Still very close here, with the poll closing soon and only 12 votes. "Walker" and "Casanova, Baby!" are tied for fifth.
