Ok so since the radio is awash with Xmas tunes let's hear you favourite songs and the ones that make you switch off straight away
Best has to be Fairytale of New York
Worst is ... Fairytale of New York sung by Ronan Keating. |

Oh my God I'd forgotten about Ronan's version, surely it's considered a war crime?
I love Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney, can't stand Don't Let The Bells End by The Darkness |

There are only about 7 I can listen to
Fairytale
Spaceman came travelling
December will be magic again by Kate Bush
Stay another day
2000 miles
Stop the cavalry
I believe in Father Christmas
Adore walking in the air by the Maccabees
Otherwise a load of nonsense . The boss’ version of Santa clause is coming to town is a 0 out of 10. Awful |

The Pogues, the Darkness, The Pretenders and John Lennon's would top my list. But I really dislike Paul McCartney's one, one of the worst things he ever wrote (I'd even listen to Mull of Kintyre over that). |

"Band aid original and power of love by Frankie goes to Hollywood are too class.
Way to many rubbish ones to mention "
Is power of love a Christmas song ? If you exclude the video ?
The line I protect you from the hooded claw might possibly contain the best lyrics of any song ever |

Pipes of Peace is a good choice, people tend to forget it's a Christmas song cos it's not mention directly in the lyrics. Great video too, with McCartney playing the British and German soldiers in WW1
Wonderful Christmastime gets a lot of hate but I like it a lot. It's basically synth pop, like the Human League would do, but still sounds very festive. An unusual choice
The Pogues, Mariah, Slade are all objectively great songs that have been rendered unbearable due to overplay. I have to switch them off when they come on for the sake of my sanity
Others I still like:
Christmas in Hollis by Run DMC
Stop the Cavalry by Jonah Luwie
Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses |

The weather outside is frightful...from die hard.
Has to be one of the best songs. You'll be singing it and humming it for days after watching the movie |

Best is the uncensored version of Fairytale of New York
I also love Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses.
Worst is Christmas Countdown by Frank Kelly. There aren't words to describe it. |

It’s incredible isn’t it - still brings a lump to my throat and can feel hairs stand on back of my neck and send tingles down my spine when there is great sound & the video is playing … |
