You can read the descriptions of why these songs were nominated in the rules thread.

The Verlaines - "Death and the Maiden"
Nina Simone - "Sinner Man"

My love for Sinner Man is quite obvious, as it was my nomination. I will probably elaborate on it if it reaches the final. Then Death and the Maiden. Let me first say I'm not very much into jangle pop. But actually, that's not really relevant. I like the song. My favorite parts are when the word 'verlaine' gets repeated over and over. Still, no competition for the marvelous Sinner Man.

Death and the Maiden for me... it's tighter and sprightlier.

Sinnerman, because it just overpowers Death and the Maiden.

Sinnerman wins for me because of its powerful vocals. Death and the Maiden is a very good song and deserves to have made it this far.

Sinnerman IMO is the best song in the game. My vote goes to Sinnerman!
