Your Favourite Xmas Song

Recommended Posts

Pogues & Kirsty, John & Yoko, Slade, Wizzard, Elton John, Springsteen, Greg Lake (same reasons as Tony) - all good.

Also a few good versions of Chuck Berry's "Run, Run Rudolf" - Keith Richards, Dave Edmunds and Brinsley Schwarz.

I do like The Eagles' "Please Come Home For Christmas" and B. B. King's version of "Merry Christmas Baby".

For entire albums, Phil Spector rules, and I'm also a big fan of the Jethro Tull Xmas album and The Roches "We Three Kings".

Otherwise, it's carols and Handel's Messiah.

When I was a little lad, my dad had a Mike Harding album that would get played every Sunday morning. The A Side was some of Mike Harding's comedy routines (quite funny to a 7/8 year old) but the B Side consisted of his songs. This was always the standout track for me and has stayed with me ever since.

It's quite a beautiful song imo.

I just asked the three women at work that sit near me what their favourite christmas song was. They all said Mariah Carey's 'All I want for Christmas'. I got annoyed and told them they did't know what they're talking about and they're not talking to me now

I'm sure this thread has been done before on Christmas's past but I couldn't find it. So what's you favourite Christmas song? It's got to be Slade for me

LOL @ the work thing

The Dan Band - I Wanna Rock You Hard This christmas

I can't link it to youtube because I am at work but search for it on there and then tell me I haven't won the internet or something.

Wouldn't I win then? Since I told you about this awesome song! :P

Tony made it pretty clear we didn't win and as current owner of the webz we should respect that decision.

"Driving Home For Christmas" Chris Rea. Some tasty chords in this number.

That's my favourite as well, just love the sentiments of it. I love Slade as well though, "look to the future now, it's only just begun." Wise words.

Re: Chris Rea. I prefer "The Joys of Christmas".

I see all the tough guys still not 25

Dying on their feet

Coughing, honking, cadging cigarettes

And still out on the street

Well, they got no money, nowhere to go

Fathers of 2, 3 maybe 4, what are they gonna do

Jimmy got a busted mouth in a fight last night

He says he's OK

Going down to the workies club (that's a laugh)

To buy something strong and take the pain away

Joys of Christmas

Joys of Christmas

Northern style

Flashing Christmas light of police blue

Go spinning down the street

Women try to drag the men from pubs

Into the stores

And work hands in empty pockets deep

We stand outside the neon ice and wish ourselves the best

He says he's OK, out of work and fighting

Is all he's ever known

And laughs and says I worry too much anyway

Joys of Christmas

Joys of Christmas

Northern style

Let's drink to the likes of Jim

Before we all go insane

And please don't ask me why

It'll take too long to explain

Joys of Christmas
