Great Music - Round 2: 1980-1984 (Group 15 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...I voted for Spandau Ballet. While i find it "sappy;" I find it genuine and a display of a vocal talent.

I hate to see True eliminated. :(

[Jon]

Fucking Hell's Bells eliminated for the likes of Bon Jovi??? We need a "consolation group."

Yep.

I love "Runaway", in fact I was (poorly) singing along in the car with it on the way to work :)
