Great Music - Round 2: 2010-2014 (Group 2 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):

Only four votes, I find this amazing. This is one I was sure was going to the semifinals or even the finals for this time period.

Mind blown. "Get Lucky" is one of the best and most iconic songs of this period. "We Are Young" and "Diamonds" are okay, but "Demons" over "Get Lucky"?

I love Demons. And I also voted for Get Lucky.

This tournament has been a vital lesson in how one cannot easily predict how varied a person's musical tastes can be.
