I voted for Gotye, because it was at least interesting. I like that it was recorded in a shack, and the album had a variety of songs, that didn't necessarily reflect the 'hit' single.

I voted for Adele's Fire to the Rain because I think Adele's voice and the piano accompaniment are unique and have a quality that can stand the test of time and still be seen as quality music in 5, 10, or 30+ years.

Although I do have to say I like Taylor Swift's music, for the fun pop music that it is. "We are never ever getting back together", while catchy like most of her songs, wasn't her very strongest work, though.

I voted for Fun. The Adele and Gotye songs are good as well.

My favorite song of 2012.

Voted for Maroon 5. Though not the best song objectively but I like it.
