Posted November 21, 200816 yr What are your Xmas favourites? Or which Xmas songs do you think are criminally ignored year after year? My favourites include: Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping Saint Etienne - I Was Born On Christmas Day Saint Etienne - My Christmas Prayer Sugababes - New Year Pogues ft Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York
November 21, 200816 yr tbh im really boooorrred of the same old songs being heard year after year... my fav used to be the waitresses, but even thats wearing thin. so my current 'favs' although not all time would be the few from 03!!! darkness is ok , avid merrion 'proper crimbo' though is my fav. i cant understand why in todays highly competitive music world current acts dont cash in on the crimbo market, possibly the most lucrative market of all. its also strange that many artists best tracks are the crimbo ones! mariah carey, whom i hate for eg... 'all i want for crimbo is you' is a decent track imho her best same with sir paul, 'simply having a wonderful crimbo time' was i think his best solo post 73. elton john whom leaves me cold 'step into crimbo' and even gary glitters 'rock n roll crimbo' was possibly his best. obviously the pogues annual anthem was their best ... and so on.
November 21, 200816 yr Oh Rob I'm with you all the way with over-exposed Xmas songs - why are they just so bloody eager to please?! Slade, Wizard and the ilk can all just f*ck off!!! I also really cannot abide Elton Johns "Step Into Xmas" and oooh I really cannot be doing with effing Mariah Carey either! My favorite xmas song is.... The Pretenders "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". It's right on the other side of those horrible xmas anthems which suits me lovely. QcQU3LYNZQc
