Best Christmas Song

[Paulie Dangerously]

To counter the other thread. Despite everything this is my favourite

 

 

Punish the man. Don't punish the music.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Apart from the usual ones from Slade and the Pogues I kinda like this one. 

 

[Fugitive]

Your kids will love this...

 

[cloggypop]

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Another classic...

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Obvs Fairytale of New York.

[Tony Moanero]

The Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby and David Bowie

[General Dryness]

Struggling here. Its either Slade or Wham. Shakin Stevens an outsider.

[Paulie Dangerously]

It'd really stick it to Cowell if the uk public got Gary Glitter to Xmas number one instead of whatever covered shite his X Factor winner released.

[PestiRed]

Best Christmas album ever - A Christmas Gift for you from Phil Spector.

 

And the best track is by Darlene Love - amazing singer, secret voice behind the Crystals' best songs and appeared in Lethal Weapon, maybe the best Christmas film ever

Change at Christmas by Flaming Lips

[Bjornebye]

Its the Pogues

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Its the Pogues

Correct.

[Paul]

Last Christmas by Wham! It's fucking boss.

[RedKnight]

The Pogues or Stop the Cavalry.

[PestiRed]

Stop the Cavalry is a good shout. Always forget about it for some reason

[Tony Moanero]

Last Christmas by Wham! It's fucking boss.

Not sure if you're being serious?

 

Last Christmas is one of my favourites. Sure, it's tacky as fuck, and very 1980's, but that is what makes it. I wanted hair like George Michael has in the video but my parents wouldn't let me grow it long enough, so I had to settle for a Steve Nicol.

You wanted the same hair as Princess Di but ended up with a ginger flat-top. School must have been hell for you before it was acceptable to come out as a teenager

[Spy Bee]

The Pogues, followed by this

All the girls in school fancied George Michael back then. I thought getting the same hairdo as he had in the Last Christmas vid would help me to tear up the school disco.

 

Steve Nicol never had a flattop. Ivan Drago had a flattop.

You never saw my flattop in 80's. It was definitely more Nicol than Drago in terms of coolness. Fortunately I went to an all-boys school so aiming for a gay icon's haircut wasn't really an option for me

I am being serious. I love it.

[Sugar Ape]

Wham is up there for me.

 

The mrs is work today so I've put all the decorations and the tree up and, as is my tradition, started wrapping all the presents whilst drinking JD and watching the best Christmas movie of all time ( Lethal Weapon ). Going to put a Roast dinner on in a bit. Had some Christmas songs on as well and got to mention these:

 

 

[Mook]

I like Greg Lake's song the best, there should be more prog Christmas songs.

 

Gentle Giant with The atrocity of St Nicholas, a prelude in C Minor.

 

That sort of thing.
