my personal fave
kirsty mccall and the pogues. tale of new york city.
which ones do you love/pretend to hate.
i like that one..erm, you missed it out, its really miserable & goes
"they said there'd be snow this christmas, they said there'd be peace on earth, but instead it just kept on raining, pale tears for the the virgin birth...etc etce"
whos it by ?
sadly ive caught myself singing to the tune of the most evil song ever, tho at least i violate the words a lot. thats the ...cringe... cliff "christmas time, mistletoe & wine.."
I HATE SIR CLIFF ! yuk yuk yuk yuk
its i believe in father christmas.
Toyah wilcox did an excellent version in 1983 but the orginal was by
Greg Lake.
nice one i like that as well.
"Sir" Cliff's seasonal atrocities would drive Jesus himself into the bosom of Satan.
Fairytale of New York? Best Christmas Song EVAH!
"Merry Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last"
genius :)
Emerson lake and Palmer, Bou.
And yes, Cliff is evil, he bathes in the blood of virgins to keep himself vaguely youthful looking.
Best Christmas song? Slade of course, although Bing Crosby comes very close with White Christams if only he'd stop singing over that poor bird all the time!
Youthful looking?? Have you seen his neck? It looks like a monkey's scrotum.
Fairytale of New York is quality and I do like Lennons War is over, not thats attrocity sung by the pop idols

Surprisingly, i hate the Bo selecta one, although i love Bo Selecta!
Although worst xmas song evah award must go to...
...Extreme with 'Christmas time again'.
Listening to that makes me shit blood.
Emerson lake and Palmer
IIRC, it was just Greg Lake on his own. Not that I'm a fan of the track, I hasten to add. :/
I must stress that I do not pretend to hate anything... I love the good X-mas songs from your list:
Slade / merry christmas ecverybody
Wizard /i wish ti could be
kirsty mccall and the pogues. tale of new york city.
Other goodies:
Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) the Darkness
The whole Spearmint "Oklahoma!" album (very Christmassy, albeit on the whole highly depressing)
Christmas carols in general, favourite being Silent Night.
Anyone heard the Belle & Sebastian song O come o come Emmanuel - it was on the Xfm Xmas album from a few years ago - great song.
Really *don't* like Wham's Last Christmas, it SUCKS.
Does anybody at all like "White Christmas"?
..Dudley
I love all Christmas pop songs and would love to have the six worst on a constant loop, playing on this site.
Merry bloody Christmas, plebs! :-p

Pogues is the best Xmas song ever!!
'ya scumbag ya maggot ya cheap lousy faggot'
what other xmas song gives you that?
As for that christ/spaceman shit - never trust a hippie!
Greg the only Lake that should be poisoned
Peace and love ;)
That one that goes 'trump trump thrumperty trump trump trumpty, daa daa daaaa da dee da.'
closely followed by bing's White christmas!
We'll folloe the old man

Not heard Stop the Cavelry or BandAid in the shops this year yet... so it's officialy not Christmas
The other day I heard a hidous cover version of the stone cold classic Slade by some bird singing into a vocoder. So bad it drove me out of the shop.
Fairytale of New York is the best (though Slade does come close). There was a brilliant documentary about the song on the telly last year. There's been some truely hidous covers of it... one by one of the hidous boy bands and one MOR lyric-less version that is one of the most hidious things I've ever heard. Oh and how is Shane 'pint of rum and black for breakfast' Macgoven still alive?
I love ALL Christmas songs (mostly in a cheesy way, but hey) save the Queen one bizarrely, and a bit iffy on Cliff's stuff. I hate no man more, but some are just ingrained, a part of Christmas.
Bastard.
Oh, and I love Chris de Burgh's "A Spaceman Came Travelling". It's Christmas: what's the point in having good taste?
...Dudley
The VERY BEST Chrimbo sond (IMHO) is .....
That Maria Carey number...whatever it's called.
WOD
in traditional fishy fashion, i feel i must defend my fellow cornish.
Greg lake is alright he is and his song is alright too.
thank you and good night,
actually he's not from here he just lived here i seem to remember.
say what you want about the blackguard.
Just bought the D.V.D. of White Christmas to replace my Dad's battered V.H.S. He plays it nearly every day of December up to the 25th, and he's had it 10 years at least, so it must have been played a couple of hundred times by now...
you are a kindly beany bag you are dxb.
i would like the dvd of wonderful life.
it was out last year but i didn't get it at the time. wish i had now.
The great Shane is not yet dead, Gary.
IMO, Fairy Tale of New York is the greatest Christmas song ever.
I've only heard one good cover, by the equally great Christy Moore.

'ya scumbag ya maggot ya cheap lousy faggot'
That line's been changed on some cover version to the more PC sounding
"ya scumbag ya maggot you're cheap and you're haggered"

I what White Christmas on the telly every year. Bring a tear to the eye and a warm glow to the heart... "We'll follow the old man wherever he wants to go!"
i think Kylies littel christmas cover of all i want for christmas struck a chord as well.
though it may have had more to do with the little red and white fur number she wore in the video
and this years new one. so bad its brillant.
christmas is all around by billy mack. from the love actaully sound track.
now thts a superbly bad one.
but tale of new york is my all time number 1.
Band aid still has it in spades. (80s rocks)
My least favorite Christmas song is one by Mariya Takeuchi that gets played a lot this year. Next is the Paul McCartney one `SImply having a wonderful Christmas time` after that....roll on December 25 (when all Christmassy music disapears here)
seasonally yours,
>Does anybody at all like "White Christmas"?
Cant stand it. My fave is: Let It Snow.
La Placa Rifa,
W. R. Logan.
Xmas isn't Xmas without a little bit of Shaky.
Cristmas isn't Christmas without one of your plum puddings.
yes, I like "White Christmas", ,me.
yeah white christmas aint so bad you grinchy gits.
and nothing wrong with E.L.& mr palmer in a lets get out the old vinyl & make the kids ears bleed cos i once thought it was good when i was a hippie sort of way.
Okay - the chart run down is happening *now*
Sh*te Idols have come in at number 5
Bo Selector folk are in at number 4
'MON THE DARKNESS!
Does any one else not think that either Pete Waterman or Simon Cowell knew where Saddam was as the release of their Odious (pop idols) cover of War is Over, seemned to perfectly coincide with his capture...... :)
Arrest them all...
Yer Slips
Ozzy & Kelly in at number three!
(Wow - I've not listened to the top 40 countdown in YEARS! Not since Pearl Jam's Spin the Black Circle at least. It's quite exciting!)
Bah humbug.
Mad World gets Number 1 with a complete lack of sleigh-bells, the Darkness are number two. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely song, but it's sod all to do with Christmas.
It's a very very mad world.
Fairy Tale of New York gets my vote..
Always had a soft spot for Greg Lake's 'I Believe in Father Christmas' (I think it's called).
