Default Best Christmas Tunes

What are they? They can be Christmas songs in the sense that they were a christmas number 1 or 2 or released for christmas anyway, or they could be about christmas (y'know santa, sleighs, trees, maybe even JC). Try to refrain from putting your favourite metal/indie/emo/hip hop etc band's novelty cover of a christmas song.

1. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl
2. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
3. Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Power of Love
4. Mew - She Came Home For Christmas
5. Cliff Richard - New Years Prayer (for the gut wrenching "and lead us not into the time of trial" part)

I love White Christmas when it's dingin' doon snow. Santa Clause Is Coming To Town is also a favourite. As is Winter Wonderland.


The Living End did a funky Jingle Bell Rock with Kylie Minogue "singing". If it wasn't for her, I'd like it a whole lot better.

This Time of Year by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, X-miss & The Christmas Song by New Found Glory and Christmas Night Of Zombies by MXPX are nice alternatives
