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):

"Opportunities" is such an uber-'80s song, I love it. Encapsulates the latter half of the decade perfectly. I hope it gets to move on :excited:

Three songs with parentheses in the titles here. Weird.

For the Aerosmith and Simple Minds' songs, I find it unnecessary and for the PSB song, it's a bit like having two names for one song and that's cheating. :nope:
