Great participation for our first preliminary semifinal, and another exciting finish that will require a tiebreaker to resolve! The top 14 slots are secure, but because Endless Deep, Treasure(Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop), Boomerang II, and Hallelujah(Here She Comes) are all tied for 15th place with 9 votes a piece, one will have to be chosen in a tiebreaker already running concurrent to this next semifinal.
Additionally, Winter has, sadly, been eliminated in the 2000-Present Preliminary Quarterfinal Tiebreaker Round.
With the first, 1979-1989, preliminary semifinal out of the way, we have, pending the tiebreaker, pared the contenders down to 45 tracks, less than half of the initial pool, and we now move on to the second semifinal.
This is the 1990-Present Preliminary Semifinal, meaning the 15 tracks that advanced from the 1990-1999 Preliminary Quarterfinal and the 15 tracks that advanced from the 2000-Present Preliminary Quarterfinal will compete in the same 30-song poll together. With the most easily dismissible tracks eliminated already, it gets harder now, and you will have to make some very difficult cuts.
Instructions: In this poll, 30 non-album tracks from 1990-Present will be available to vote for, with voting for multiple items enabled. You will vote for your TOP 15 FAVORITE tracks.
It is essential to the integrity of the competition that you vote for EXACTLY 15 tracks, not any more or any less. There is no way to lock you into a certain number of votes, so it is up to you to monitor yourselves.
Because 15 tracks is a lot to decide on, this poll will be open for 48 hours to give everyone a chance to vote.
Here is a list of tracks in this poll, all linked to YT for your reference.
