Great Music - Round 2: 1985-1989 (Group 8 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):

This is a really tough group, wish I could pick all five... sigh... The two Madonna tunes are amazing and beautiful. "Money for Nothing" is a no-brainer. "I Want It All" is so powerful and "Walk This Way" is super iconic. What to do.... :panic:
