Best/Worst Xmas records

[robbied69]

Fairytale of New York - Pogues

Worst would be one of the crappy X-Factor/Pop-Idol/Fame Academy reject crap.

 

[Parson Henry]

He had a second single, "You'll always find me in the kitchen at parties'' or some other terrible name like that. But I doubt it brings in much royalties anymore

That was a great tune as well. Released before 'Cavalry'.

Cna anyone type the phonic lyrics to the debedebedum bit?

 

[Robbie G]

Best Songs - Spaceman Came Travelling, Cavalry, Fairytale of New York

Worst Songs - Paul McCartney, Lord's Prayer Cliff Richard Style and MARIAH CAREY!

 

[Albion Edd]

Best: fairytale of new york or Slade- Merry christmas everybody

Worst: I'v just seen Tony Christie's cover of Merry Christmas Everybody, it's awful.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Worst - unquestionably Cliff's Lords Prayer. Mistletoe and Wine sucked a big mouthful of decidedly unholy cock as well.

In defence of McCartney: Wonderful Xmas Time's not exactly Yesterday or I Saw Her Standing There but I don't think it's THAT bad either in a field of what is generally shite. And Pipes Of Peace is a fine Xmas effort, IMHO.

Best - not many. Shaky brings back good memories. But I love Boney M, so Mary's Boy Child it is.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Always like Greg Lakes,There be snow at Christmas? To many bad ones to mention.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

The pogues obviously Greg Lake I believe in father christmas is an old favourite, slade, wizard - it just wouldn't be christmas without 'em; St Etienne I was born on christmas day - another great christmas track

Anything by Sir Cliff is guaranteed to flatten the festive spirit.

 

[NMH]

'Step into Christmas' is bloody awful, as are most 'made for the occasion' records.

Certainly I can understand the appeal for charitable ones, like the Artists For Africa one 'Do they Know it's Christmas' , but as music it is still pretty awful.

 

[Goodfella]

BEST- SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS/STEVIE WONDER

WORST- ANYTHING BY CLIFF RICHARD

 

[BUTTERBALL]

'Step into Christmas' is bloody awful

Concur fully! What a pile of crap. Also Mel Smith & Kim Wilde rockin around the christmas tree, nearly as bad

 

[RonnieO'Sullivan]

Fairytale of New York for the best

well said that man

 

[B.M.F]

Pipes Of Peace is a fine Xmas effort, IMHO.

Bloody superb song that one.

My Faves are Last Christmas, Stay another day, Mula kalikimuka ( bing ) and what do you get a wookie for Christmas when he has already got a comb (C3PO and R2D2). Top Quality tune
Worst would have to be Mad World. Great tune but so not Christmas

 

[chez]

My Faves are Last Christmas by Wham, The Christmas Song by Christina Aguilara and Driving home for Christmas by Chris Rea.

The worst are that Darkness song from last year or the year before and also that Avid Merrion - "proper crimbo".

P.S. Stay Another Day is a brilliant song but also has as much to do with Christmas as Mad World. i.e. it was released then.

 

[A Melbourne Albion Supporter]

Jonah Louie - Stop The Calvary

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Worst: Chris De Burgh: A spaceman went travelling

 

[rool]

I heard a reggae version of Silent Night on John Peels show around Christmas 1982, never heard it since but at the time it made the hairs stand up on my neck and I've remembered it ever since.

My worst is the beach boys one where they sing Christmas comes this time each year. No Shit.
