    Default Great Music - Tournament Finals: Round 2 (Matchup 4 of 13)

    For this finals 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):

    Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight (1981)


    Johnny Cash - Hurt (2002)

    Voted Hurt. Surprised to see it trailing.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I would have voted for the NIN version instantly. I am still very glad to see some of Trent's lyrics in the tournament either way.
