    Default Great Music - Tournament Finals: Quarterfinals (Matchup 8 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):

    Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge (1991)


    Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight (1981)

    Wow, two of my nominees and two of some of my most favorite songs going head to head. It was a tough choice but after careful consideration and intensive listening I went with "Air".

    The poll has closed. "In the Air Tonight" will face Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (1964) in the Semifinals.
