Good and Sh*te X-mas Songs

[Lighthouse]

I quite like The Darkness and Bo Selecta x-mas records but I find all of the Band Aid singles to be preachy bullsh*t. Maria Carey can p*ss off too.

 

Thoughts?

[hypochondriac]

Another rock and roll Christmas is a decent tune. Shame about the author.

[johnnyboy]

the best

[johnnyboy]

oops tried to be clever and embed video but I am a din !

 

[kwsaint]

Slade is the best imo.

[Kingsland Red]

I enjoyed the Manure song "Feed the Scousers - let them know it's christmas time " !

[Essruu]

Anything off of The Wurzels Christmas Album.

[The Cat]

This is my favourite

Sufjan Stevens has done a ridiculous amount of Xmas songs. Here's one:

 

[The Cat]

A classic, despite it's current use on a sodding Argos advert

I have both boxed sets...it's all you need for the Alternative Christmas...wonderfully inventive original along with great interpretations of old traditionals...

Hey man, this is Christmas music!

 

(I paraphrase Argyle to get Die Hard on at Christmas)

[Lord Duckhunter]

Best by a country mile is Roy Wood & Wizard.

 

Hates are Band Aid, Last ****ing Christmas , and that Greg Lake shiete

[Wade Garrett]

Fairytale of New York the best, followed by When a Child is Born, then Christmas Wrapping.

 

I should know, thanks to my kids, all I've listened to recently has been Now That's What I Call Christmas.

 

Love it.

[sadoldgit]

Best three - Greg Lake, The Pogues and Slade.

[dronskisaint]

1) Lennon - Happy Xmas War is Over

2) Pogues - Fairytale in New York

3) Slade - Yeah, that one

4) Mud - Lonely this Christmas

5) Wizard = Yeah - that one too

 

Worst...how long have you got?

 

Any sickening cr*p by Cliff, Mary's Boy Child by Boney M, Grandma...bleugh

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Oh, and this:

 

[Unbelievable Jeff]

This is decent as well:

 

[ericofarabia]

The Pogues and Slade by a country mile.

 

Strangely I quite like Aled Jones, Walking in the air as well .... but please don't tell anybody

You young whippersnappers May scoff, but the best Christmas album ever is "James Taylor at Christmas". This is fact. I will accept no argument!! ?

He batted well in Sri Lanka yesterday.

[Wade Garrett]

Good shout with John Lennon and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

[Bearsy]

i like the darkness one cos it's got bell-ends in it. I also like all the ones about baby jesus. I also like the one in home alone about BJs, it's a hymn i think. I also liike John Denver & The Muppets Christmas Together. Great album. I can't stomach that pogues one at any price

[lifeintheslowlane]

Could I be the first in this thread to post the traditional picture of Baby Cheeses?

 

[Halo Stickman]

A group ahead of its time. These guys were making Christmas hits – not to mention, saving the planet – years before the likes of Geldof and Bono (although I do credit the latter with making the best-ever New Year’s Day record).

Don't like the Wombles one. All they've done is stick the word 'wombling' into an otherwise dull X-mas waffle.

[The Cat]

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to see Southampton win away.

[miserableoldgit]

One of my very favourites. Jackson Browne and the Chieftains
