    Default Great Music - Playoffs Round 2: 1950-1954 (Bracket 7 of 8)

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

    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):

    The Penguins - Earth Angel (Will You be Mine) (1954)


    Muddy Waters - Rollin' Stone (1950)

    Really surprised to see "Earth Angel" lagging, even if it's early still...

    Earth Angel is good; but I love the blues!

    I could see The Penguins - Earth Angel (Will You be Mine) (1954) winning its entire era. Great song.

    yes... I've tried to explain myself in another bracket, the one with Singing in the Rain vs Hank Williams

    Looks like it's down by one with 21 votes cast. Not looking very good...

    The poll has closed. "Rollin' Stone" will face Gene Kelly - Singin' in the Rain (1952) in the Quarterfinals.

    A stunning upset, "Earth Angel" was the 2nd best rated song of the era heading into this round, and "Rollin' Stone" was the 18th.

    "Rollin' Stone" is such an uninteresting tune from Muddy. I'm surprised as well.

    I must disagree. I think it is among his better works.

    Just listened to it again and I am probably wrong (as usual) in calling it uninteresting but it still is not a song that I can get excited about.

    It's ok Tommy...Different strokes For different folks.

    I should write that into a song and sent it to Sly and his family! LOL

    I can explain it no better than I can explain why a die hard Iron Maiden fan is currently listening to Dr. Hook's When Your in Love With a Beautiful Woman.

    LOL
