Christmas songs

[IrrElephant]

They're all shyte aren't they?



The one exception is The Darkness, Christmas Time (dont let the bells end)


All the others are utter tripe. Am I alone?

[SeldomSeenKid]

Chris Rea's Driving home for Christmas and The Eagles Please come home for Christmas are decent, but the majority of others,I'd agree, are rubbish

[Unf]

Kevin "Bloody" Wilson every time.
"Santa Claus, you c*nt...."

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

Not really a Christmas song.... but 2,000 miles by the Pretenders is OK.

[TheDoggingFather]

Other than those mentioned so far, yes, utter bks.

[K50 DEL]

You're all forgetting the best Christmas song ever written...

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues

/thread end

[Hoover.]

Nahhhh "I was born on Christmas Day" by St Etienne featuring Tim Burgess is the Nuts

[pacman1]

Always liked Another Rock n Roll Christmas, part of the fabric of Christmastime if you grew up in the '70's.

I still hear it played each year on someone's seasonal collection when I'm out, no one seems too bothered!

[sparks_E39]

Thank God It's Christmas(?) by Queen is a superior Christmas song.

I realise I'll get slated for this...!

But I like Allegri's Misere at Christmas & Prokofievs Lieutenant Kije Troika.

Dear IrrElephant,

you philistine

I demand you listen to the mighty Wizard's "I Wish it Could be Christmas Everyday" and repent
Fountain of Wayne's "I Want an Alien for Christmas" has some vim, also,

regards,
Father "Jet Noise" Christmas

Ha! I bought the FoW song on cd single when it came out, ooh, must be 15 years ago now.
