    Default Great Music - Playoffs Round 1: 2010-2014 (Bracket 7 of 8)

    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):

    Psy - Gangnam Style (2012)


    Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass (2014)

    Gangnam Style is still in the competition?! The Meghan Trainor song isn't good either, but I had to vote against Gangnam Style.

    I adore "Gangnam Style". I can play it on repeat endlessly, even now, years after the hype died down. Such an electric track.

    You could always vote against Gangham Style so it doesn't move on any further

    Have to agree with Jon and Jean - nothing to vote *for* here.
    But I do dislike Gangham style way more (yuck!), so "the bass" it is.

    I am stunned at all the hate for "Gangham". It's the perfect earworm.

    I could listen to Psy - Gangnam Style (2012) like 100 times in a row, it's that peppy and catchy. Plus, I think the video is clever and fun. The other song, about booty, is also good and I would have voted for it against 90% of the other crap up for consideration.

    "Gangnam Style" is only one of the most popular songs of all time:

    http://mashable.com/2014/05/27/gangn...youtube-views/
    We now live in a world where Psy's 2012 mega-hit "Gangnam Style" has been watched 2 billion times — or almost six times the population of the United States.

    Let those feelings of confusion, anger and pride wash over you.

    The video sensation was uploaded to YouTube on July 15, 2012. It reached the one billion mark in December of that year. The song spent 31 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 list, peaking at the number 2 spot. It spurred thousands of parodies and generated millions in advertising deals.

    It also spent approximately three months stuck in just about every human being's head.

    The video has far surpassed the second most popular YouTube video, Justin Bieber's "Baby," which currently boasts a measly 1 billion views. Just imagine the level of world domination that could occur if Bieber did K Pop.

    Psy, meanwhile, can hardly be labeled a one-hit wonder. His other single "Gentleman" currently holds the title of seventh most popular YouTube video with 700 million views.

    When Gangnam Style hit one billion views, YouTube trends manager Kevin Allocca attributed the video's success to "the universal appeal of catchy music."

    No word on how the video has kept up its popularity since then, but we're guessing it has something to do with those timeless dance moves.

    Ditto. Honestly I'm amazed by some of the songs in the competition. Then again, I think I have drastically different taste in music than the people here.

    it's very much the same with bears

    the only point where bears and people coincide is classic rock

    The poll has closed. "Gangnam Style" will face Fun feat. Janelle Monáe - We Are Young (2011) in the second round.

    I must wonder; had You Tube been available when they were released, what would have been the effect of: Stairway to Heaven, Hotel California ( Yes, GSD) Smoke on the Water ect.
