Great Music - Round 3: 2000-2004 (Group 1 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):

You know, you know, no you don't, you don't...

You know what's up.

Oh shit. Killers and Pearl Jam, without a doubt.

No way. "Clocks" is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

Look, I've gotta get something off my chest. [takes deep breath] My name is Amanda and I don't like Coldplay. :unsure:

[Patrick]

I could have voted for all four of these songs, dammit.

I've seen Chris Martin play acoustic solo. He's talented.

I can appreciate the fact that Coldplay/Chris Martin are good at what they do, and I've tried to give them a shot, but I just can't dig it for some reason.

Understood. I feel the same way about certain other artists as well.
