Great Music - Round 2: 1975-1979 (Group 6 of 16)

[mae]

During the second round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to three tracks you would like to move onto the next round. The top three 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):

Queen is getting stopped so far... Shame. Very good song.

[Girlystevedave]

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover is one of the coolest songs. :wub:

Also, the Queen I voted for this round is not doing so well. Oddly, I really don't even care for Somebody to Love.

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover is one of the coolest songs. :wub:

Kinda shocking to see it bested by "Blinded by the Light" and "Don't Stop Me Now". But just barely.

Goo to see a Grease tune take it's deserved place.
