Great Music - Round 3: 1965-1969 (Group 11 of 12)

[mae]

During the third round of The Great Music Tournament, please vote for up to two tracks you would like to move onto the playoffs. The top two 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):

Again, as with the previous round, I just want to point out that the original version of "Folsom Prison Blues" is also being voted on in Round 3 in its appropriate timeframe.

Great song for sure but I do not feel we need both versions in the playoffs.

How did two versions of this song get nominated?

Also again, I hate to not vote for all these songs. The polls are just getting harder and harder.

That is partly my fault. I nominated the Live version without realizing that the studio recording had already been nominated and seconded. Someone seconded my nomination presumably not knowing the other had been seconded as well. I do feel badly about that. Sorry guys.
