Great participation and an exciting finish for the 1984-1989 quarterfinal, with Hallelujah(Here She Comes) receiving a vote at the eleventh hour to advance. A bit bummed that it had to come at Wild Irish Rose's expense, as that is a gorgeous song that deserved to stick around a little longer, but I love Hallelujah too. Tough choice. Really hope that last vote for Hallelujah wasn't a drive-by. Because Hallelujah has advanced, there will be no need for a tiebreaker for the 1984-1989 Quarterfinal.
Additionally, The Dream Is Over defeated Angels Too Tied To The Ground in the 1979-1983 Quarterfinal Tiebreaker, so it will be advancing while Angels has reached the end of its road.
Now we come to the 1990-1999 Quarterfinal, and we're going to do this one a little differently. While 1979-1983, 1984-1989, and 2000-Present all have 25+ tracks, 1990-1999 only has 16, which means all but one song will be advancing, so rather than picking 15 out of 16, I figured it would make more sense and be easier to simply vote for the one track to eliminate.
Instructions: In this poll, 16 non-album tracks from 1990-1999 will be available to vote for, with voting for ONE ITEM ONLY enabled. You will vote for your LEAST FAVORITE track.
Since we're only voting for one track, I'm going to make this A ONE-DAY, 24-HOUR POLL, as I'm confident we'll know sooner rather than later which track the forum wants gone, and there's no sense in wasting a day.
Here is a list of tracks in this poll, all linked to YT for your reference, except for a few that aren't on YT. I found Down All The Days on Dailymotion. You can't even upload those AB re-issue tracks to YT(I tried) because they immediately get muted(i.e. audio track removed). Nearly every single other track in the band's catalog is ok to be on YT but the small handful that can only be acquired on the super-duper-costs-a-small-fortune-deluxe version of the AB re-issue aren't allowed. Go figure. I went ahead and linked Heaven And Hell to a Salome Outtake version, just because. Also, Viva Davidoff isn't there, I guess it's just too obscure or something.
