2025 TMT20 ROUND 2

Round 2 consists of ten groups of ten songs each. The top five songs in each group advance to Round 3.

Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains one 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place song from Round 1, 0-1 songs that received a special Round 1 bye, 2-3 songs eliminated in Round 3 last year, 0-1 songs eliminated in the semifinal last year, 0-1 songs ranked between 12-20 last year, and one song ranked between 2-11 last year.

We will vote on groups two at a time (although you can vote on only one of the groups if you want). 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 1
Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
Le Tigre - Deceptacon
Men at Work - Down Under
Prozac+ - Acida
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure
Renato Zero - Triangolo
Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
Tom Waits - Step Right Up
Tony Bennett - I Left My Heart in San Francisco

GROUP 2
Aerosmith - Dream On
Alan Parsons Project - Sirius/Eye In The Sky
B-52's - Private Idaho
Clash - Rock the Casbah
Coldplay - Fix You
Justin Johnson - Ghost of the Mountain
Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
Matia Bazar - Vacanze Romane
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Mercy Seat
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 4 points
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- Last year's result (1 > 2 > ... > 20 > Round 4 > Round 3 > Round 2 > other)
- PPV in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Rank in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Year first nominated (special edition > earlier > later)
- 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.
