bickster Posted December 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2012 Prompted by discussion in the General Chat topic.... Which xmas songs or tunes are your favourite and which do you despise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I used to love Fairytale of New York, but it is so overplayed now. I still enjoy Stop The Cavalry though. This is probably every bit as played as The Pogues, but Christmas isnt Christmas without Wizzard. Id throw in Slade & Fountains of Wayne too, but the stupid forum wont let me.

tonyh29 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 heard Slade Merry Christmas a few times on the radio of late I'm no musician but it has what I think is possibly one of the best bass tracks , it just sort of trips along (probably some musicians will now tell me a 2 year old could play it !!) Greatest Xmas song for my money would be Band Aid and Do they Know it's Christmas .... the sentiment was right in helping others , even if the execution itself was flawed Worse one has to be that Mariah Carey one , All I want for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Could happily live without - Chris DeBurgh, Wings, Pogues and Wham. Manilow and Cliff, serial offenders. Festive 'Spot The Difference' with Mariah Carey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 It's probably the best way to approach her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Another chance to say how truly horrible McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmas Time' is. Errrrrgh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2012 I don't have too much problem with the overplayed songs thing, as I don't listen to pop radio, and I avoid shopping malls, etc. I have a collection of Xmas CDs, but I ration them carefully. Whole albums: Phil Spector Jethro Tull The Roches A classical one by the Taverner Consort A cheap carols compilation Plus odd tracks: Slade Wizzard John & Yoko Pogues Greg Lake Springsteen Aled Jones Elton John Waitresses Mike Oldfield etc. Hate list includes Wham, Mud, McCartney, Shakin' Stevens, Cliff, Brenda Lee, Bing, Boney M, Mel & Kim, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Abba's Super Trooper and Chris Rea's driving home for Xmas are 2 of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Oasis - Merry Xmas Everybody.. just nice and chilled out cover version of the also brilliant Slade original. That's like the only xmas songs I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Everything played in shops at christmas, without exception, is utter shite. As if being in a shop at this time of year isn't already unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted December 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 24, 2012 The waitresses is about the only Christmas song I like. Oh, and All I Want for Christmas is my methadone by bob Schneider: http://youtu.be/yVhFRlwSrxE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 They're nearly all cack, except this one. http://youtu.be/84cMf7RlRdM One of my favourite bands have just covered that for a charity Xmas album. That's not me suggesting you listen to it by the way Rob, lest ye put your fist through the monitor or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Actually, VT can help settle an argument I'm having with the missus at the moment; FGTH's 'The Power Of Love' is a Christmas song, is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
