Great Music - Round 2: 1995-1999 (Group 12 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):

Too bad we only got "Scar Tissue" in the tournament off that epic RHCP album: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsK0gCOg4x1fZaDg_m77aZoxjKeXQNMWC At least another 4-5 amazing songs could have made it...

DMB! Pablo, is this the only song of their's to advance to this round?

[RainInSpain]

But "Scar Tissue" is such a monumentally great song!

In an odd coincidence, just this morning I have mentioned to another forum member how this song had been playing in my head for quite a while. Now I come here and see that it is up for voting!

DMB! Pablo, is this the only song of their's to advance to this round?

Afraid so. "Ants" got stomped on in Round 1 and nothing else made it...

[Heather19]

That's a shame :cry:

But "Scar Tissue" is such a monumentally great song!

It's awesome and I hope it goes far, but "Otherside", "Parallel Universe", "Around the World", the title track... Just mind-blowing stuff! Really wish one or two more made it. But of course, can't include everything.

[mae]

But as much as I love DMB and RHCP, the standout track here is "One Headlight". I really wish it can go very far in the playoffs.

And this means I had to skip Moby :(

[Jon]

I feel badly that I had no room to vote or the Moby tune. Tournaments suck!!! LOL
