For this playoffs poll, please choose one track to move on to the next round.

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):

Pablo-

Do you have a process for resolving ties?

Yup. We go by stated votes in the thread. If that's also tied, someone who did not vote needs to cast the deciding vote.

...We go by stated votes in the thread...

Ok; so I should be posting a message and not just voting as I'd generally been doing. Gotcha.

Given that: Hey You.

It's not necessary, but it does promote discussion and can be used as a tiebreaker :)

Hmmm, a middle of the road Fleetwood Mac song vs. a middle of the road Pink Floyd song...

Go with Pink Floyd - Hey You (1979)

So many close votes and ties I'm guessing because we're really getting to the best of the best at this point. I don't foresee too many blowouts. And we're no longer tied here.

The 11th vote for FM needs to jump off a bridge.

I can't seriously vote against this Pink Floyd song. Whatever the alternative.

The poll has closed. "Go Your Own Way" will face Queen - Somebody to Love (1976) in the second round.

Pablo, how are these other songs already in the running if we haven't voted on them yet in the playoffs?

Check out the main overview thread. I described there how 24 songs make the playoffs in each time period, the top 8 are promoted to the second round, and the bottom 16 face off against one another in round one to take those 8 on. In this case, "Somebody to Love" was #6.

Ah, thanks. I looked in there but I must have missed it.
