Fairy Tale of New York - anyone heard it yet?
Discussion
)This Christmas tuneless is a case of the Emperor’s new clothes , say you don’t like it and you are considered not sophisticated enough to understand the deeper meaning . bit like David Hockney and his “wonderful” art , when to a 3 year old can do better .
Magic radio is playing Christmas tunes not stop , ok in the background , but when FToNY comes on, Smooth radio is instantly selected .

The worst xmas record ever. What was the late, great Kirsty MacColl thinking of when she got involved in this dirge.
Funny how opinions differ, it's my favourite Christmas song...Not saying that's you, I'm sure many people actually do like it.

Loads of better Xmas songs. Wonder if it ever gets played in New York? Doubt it. Naff song, just imo.
Most of the good Xmas songs are old.
That's why they keep on being played year after year. Keeps a few groups in clover (if they're still alive).
Personally, Greg Lake's has to be up there as one of the best.
To think that was released in the 70s. As of course were Wizzard and Slade's.
Lennon & Ono Happy Xmas (War is Over) has also done the test of time (70s again) I still like it , as I do Chris Rea's Driving Home for Xmas, 80s this time.
The real cheesy stuff like Mariah Carey I can do without. And Bing and Bowie, Wham, etc.
One you don't hear in the UK, but will in New York (and the rest of the US) is the Xmas song featured in the film Home Alone 2.
If you didn't realise it's Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (who most on here will know I am a big fan!).
Used to love Howie Epstein's bass playing, good singer too.
Here they are singing said song live in 2000 - Petty looking like he had a bad haircut day, and bearded Howie looking sauve!

Yet Howie was dead within a couple years of this, just 47. f
king drugs/heroin!
Irony is Shane is still here despite that drug but mainly booze abuse.
