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):

I swear, although I've not really explored all he's done, I'm always sure Bruno Mars was meant to be a performer when I hear his upbeat music.

"Can't Hold Us" is an amazingly fun track. Can't stop listening to it. Pure genius.

Also, I really don't get the love for Imagine Dragons (or Kings of Leon for that matter). I must be missing something.

I'm not a KOL fan either but "Radioactive" is a very unique track.

Really sad and surprised to see such a cool track like "Can't Hold Us" dead last...

I think that may have been my nomination. I first heard that song on one of the late night shows. It might have been Conan or Jimmy Fallon. Something like that. Macklemore was pretty much known as the "thrift shop guy" at that point but he played this song live and I knew as soon as I heard it that I liked it. That's pretty rare for me. Most songs I have to hear a few times and let them grow on me.
