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):

I am still so fucking bummed about him being gone. He was a big part of my childhood. I've listened to a lot of his music since April 21st and he was definitely underappreciated in his life. I hate like hell that it takes dying sometimes for people to appreciate an artists' work. I believe he was one of, if not, the best pop star ever and also one of the greatest performers ever. I agree there is way too little Prince going through but it was difficult nominating his work because he kept a strong hold on his artistic properties. I really can't praise his work any higher.

And not for nothing, the man could throw shade with the best of them.....

I particularly like the Halle Berry and Madonna moments.
