Great Music - Round 1: 1990-1994 (Group 13 of 16)

[mae]

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

MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This (1990)

REM - Everybody Hurts (1993)

Primus - My Name Is Mud (1993)

Madonna - Vogue (1990)

Tag Team - Whoomp! (There It Is) (1993)

Meat Puppets - Backwater (1994)

Green Day - Basket Case (1994)

About nothing and everything all aaaatttt once

Both Primus and Meat Puppets should have more votes. Those are great songs! And there really should have been more Primus nominated. Such a unique band.

I am thrilled to pop in here and see a Meat Puppets song. So good.
