IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do listen to each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a track well, it's still worth giving it a listen for a refresher.

The nominees are (please let me know if any video doesn't play for you):

Adele - Set Fire to the Rain (2011)

Set Fire To The Rain

Two very solid songs, but Adele gets my vote.

"Take Me to Church" makes my goose bump.

I feel like I am getting to hear something very special each time it's played. The lyrics are poetry and the message behind them is timeless.

If this were Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" I'd have more of a choice.

Agreed, this is my least favorite Adele single so far.

No vote for me in this bracket. Good luck to the competitors.

Voted Adele - Set Fire to the Rain (2011).

Bump!

Take Me to Church
One of the soul-touching tunes for me

Take Me to Church is overrated. I can think of at least a dozen other songs that deserved to be in the final ahead of it....

Adele - Set Fire to the Rain is the better song by far, and unquestionably the only real choice here!

I was raised Southern Baptist. I know what it's like to be told that I am going to hell every Sunday for something I have no control over. TMTC quickens the fibers of my being every time I hear it. I cannot state my love and gratitude for this song enough.

Very poignant. I was raised in a devout Nazarene home. (I MAY have backslid.)

Adele.

Come on, Hozier, you can do it! :excited:

Take Me To Church

ditto

a formidable song

(love Adele, though... how sad...)

Concur! Hands down the better song.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Adele - Set Fire to the Rain is the only choice for Santa.... :thumbsup:

And we are tied with minutes to go :panic:

Someone break the tie, quick!

Stated votes appear to be tied 6-6, 7-6 in favor of "Rain" if we count Santa, who did not actually vote.

The poll has closed. The winner of the 2010-2014 time period is Adele - Set Fire to the Rain (2011).
