This is quite probably the easiest choice I’ve had to make all year: Adele’s “Someone Like You” is the song of the 2011.
Yeah, it’s reaching an uncomfortable level of ubiquity (it’s been made fun of on SNL, to great effect – GTS), but Adele’s beautiful, career-landmark ballad deserves to be heard time and time again, if anything because she felt it and she wrote it and she shared it. It’s really possibly the rawest of her songs in terms of emotion, and if you have a pulse and two wits about ya you know what I mean and why I chose it (it does what music is supposed to do...relate and move listeners while allowing them to sing along, so to borrow a phrase: winning!).
Oof, and that gorgeous video.... Well, see for yourself:
Easy choice, right?
