Great Music - Round 2: 1980-1984 (Group 9 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):

Yes... leaves one to ponder does it not. As to a quality of music...

[Tommy]

Do you like any Prince song Jon? Whether he sang on it or produced it? The man had a crazy pile of hits.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Amongst this group, Purple Rain should be way out front!!! What the fuck!!?? :wtf:

[Tommy]

I hate "Bad to the Bone" like actual hate. "One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer" is way better.

Do you like any Prince song Jon? Whether he sang on it or produced it? The man had a crazy pile of hits.

You misunderstand... I mean... when the quality of the music in this group is considered... rather than popularity...how can Purple Rain be last?
