Participation has been good so far, but I'm really hoping we can somehow get even more people this round (or maybe the return of some earlier participants @Breneir Tzaracomprada @NRB @Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu @Ián Tamorán S.H. @Iason Taiwos ?). This is the round that decides most of what gets into the top 20 after all.


I think this will in a couple more posts be the most replied to thread on witt btw...

Group 2 was the death knell for both very new and very old songs:
-Both of the new nominations in Group 2 (Freedom of Choice and Blue Monday) were eliminated. Along with the elimination of Der Kommissar in Group 1, this means that there will be no new nominations in the Top 20. I believe this is the first time this has happened.
-Bohemian Rhapsody will not be in the Top 20 (and indeed, not be in the Top 5) for the first time ever.

Curiously, the cut line was the same for each of the three groups (9), which meant that at least three voters had to give a song points for it to move on.

TMT20 ROUND 3 - GROUPS 4 and 5
Round 3 consists of five groups of ten songs each. The top five songs from each group advance according to the flowchart above. Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains two 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place songs from Round 2.

We will vote on groups 1, 2, and 3 and then groups 4 and 5. Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.

Give your top four songs 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three or four songs (awarding the 1-point vote is optional).

GROUP 4
Alan Parsons Project - Sirius/Eye In The Sky
Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Derek and the Dominos - Layla
Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up To Boston
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get
Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

GROUP 5
Aerosmith - Dream On
Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive
Coldplay - Fix You
Eagles - Midnight Flyer
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 4 points
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- PPV in Round 2
- Last year's result (1 > 2 > ... > 20 > Round 4 > Round 3 > Round 2 > other)
- PPV in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Random chance

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.
