Larsen B Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 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 MacColl2. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping3. Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Power of Love4. Mew - She Came Home For Christmas5. Cliff Richard - New Years Prayer (for the gut wrenching "and lead us not into the time of trial" part) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Amy* Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I can't believe no-one's mentioned the Jackson 5 yet. They had some fucking awesome chrimbo songs. They were the only thing that used to get me through working as a christmas temp. it was almost worse enduring driving home for christmas, band aid and cliff fucking richard on repeat all day just for the couple of good time gems the 5 served up.honourable mention to Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
