Looks like we're heading for yet another disappointing result with only two hours left :(

In other news, I made a playlist of (allmost) all regular tmt nominations since 2015:

A couple songs I couldn't find and then there may be a few where I picked the wrong version, but most should be in here, and it's quite worth listening to on shuffle. Definitely some forgotten gems in there...

We have now determined which songs will be in this year's top 20. Of these:
-7 were in the Top 20 last year (including last year's top 3)
-1 was eliminated in R4 last year
-8 were eliminated in R3 last year
-4 were eliminated in R2 last year

Baba O'Riley, Down Under, Lyin' Eyes, and September have never been in the Top 20 before.

TMT20 ROUND 5
Round 5 consists of one group of ten songs (the 3rd place song from each of the five groups of Round 3 and the 1st-5th place songs from Round 4). The top five songs advance to the Final. The bottom five receive Ranks #16-#20 of the 2022 TMT20, respectively.

The 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).

Alan Parsons Project - Sirius/Eye In The Sky
David Bowie - Starman
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
Eagles - Lyin' Eyes
Earth, Wind and Fire - September
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
Toto - Africa
Whiskey Myers - On The River

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 4 points
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- PPV in Round 4 (if applicable)
- PPV in Round 3
- 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.
