December 24, 20231 yr I've taken the token time to listen to the handful of songs I hadn't already heard on here. The Residents continue to be iconic. I generally like Tori Amos but sorry I cannot abide any version of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' and if anything her version is one of the worst ones I've heard, I struggled to get through the whole thing! +20 The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York (feat.

December 24, 20231 yr Author That's OK, I haven't counted the last few votes yet. Anyone else has until 12 o'clock midday to post their vote.
December 24, 20231 yr Looking forward to the results. A great final 40 by the way - could happily have voted for at least 30. Think the format worked out really well.
December 24, 20231 yr So, thanks to those of you that voted and to Sausgae Rollo for doing the adding up :D Here are the results for 42 to 36: 36. 33 points Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24 37. 30 points Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime 38. 29 points Vince Guaraldi Trio - Linus And Lucy 39. 27 points Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmas Time Is Here 40. 25 points Mary Hopkin - Mary Had A Baby 41. 20 points Joan Regan - Must Be Santa 42. 19 points The Residents - Fire (from the Santa Dog EP) No big shockers here as the lesser known tracks depart EXCEPT!! Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime from 1979 which seems to be quite marmite and bows out at a lowly 37. 94Ye-3C1FC8
December 24, 20231 yr Yeh Paul McCartney is a love it or hate it track, I love it but others hate it. Never got into the Vince Xmas album!
December 24, 20231 yr Santa dog's a jesus fetus, pass it on.... More people really gotta watch A Charlie Brown Christmas based on this, that + the soundtrack is a festive ESSENTIAL
December 24, 20231 yr 31. 41 points The Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 32. 40 points Cliff Richard - Saviour's Day 33. 37 points (6 votes, one 15) David Bowie and Bing Crosby - Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy 34. 37 points (6 votes, one 13) Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock 35. 37 points (2 votes) Tori Amos - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas A mixed bag here, with the little known Tori Amos track, the rather fab Jingle Bell Rock, the awkward and cringe (but quite endearing) Bowie and Bing, the lesser of the 2 Cliff Christmas number 1s and the is it a Christmas song or just a. Christmas number 1 Spice-tastic 2 Become 1 lCpXMy5GalI
December 24, 20231 yr The Residents robbed once more tbh. And Sir Sir Paul robbed as well, you people clearly have not been practicing all year long hard enough to appreciate this one x Out of the two AlexRange tracks I actually kinda liked the Joan Regan one (I knew the Bob Dylan version of it already but this version was kinda cute).
December 24, 20231 yr 26. 49 points Type O Negative - Red Water (Christmas Mourning) 27. 48 points Low - Just Like Christmas 28. 47 points Nat ‘King’ Cole - The Christmas Song 29. 44 points Andy Williams - It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year 30. 42 points Queen - Thank God It's Christmas So into the top 30, with Queen's little known but brilliant Christmas song, an Andy Williams staple, the classic Nat King Cole Christmas song and 2 songs from the 90s that I barely know! EIfZXSXRsYI
December 24, 20231 yr Author I listened to a few songs I didn't know before voting in the 1990s poll and the one by Low was a great discovery.
