Great Music - Round 2: 1995-1999 (Group 14 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):

"Jumpin' Jack" is so fucking cool.

"Jumpin' Jack" is so fucking cool.

Yes. I keep listening to it over and over. But I LOVE the blues feel of the N. Merchant tune. This is a tough group.

[Jon]

Sadly, I had to withhold my vote for the Pumpkins' song.

The poll has closed and the following tracks are moving on to the next round:


Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight (1995) 62.50%
Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now (1999) 56.25%
Natalie Merchant - Carnival (1995) 43.75%


And the following are eliminated:


Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Jumpin' Jack (1998) 31.25%
Fastball - The Way (1998) 31.25%

[mae]

Really too bad to see both "Jumpin' Jack" and "The Way" get booted, but this was a tough group.

[Jon]

Yes... The Way is kinda iconic.
