Default Which Is Your Favourite?

As title; you can have a maximum of 10 options so Ive had to delete 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' by Wizzard..... I've listed then in no particular order Apologies if Ive missed out anyones favourite Christmas song; these were off the top of my head.

Simon

Wasn't "Lonely This Christmas" by Mud rather than Elvis or was it a cover?

I'd vote for Queen's "Thank God It's Christmas," but it's not there

"You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy ******, Happy Christmas my ****, I pray God it's our last'

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is the spirit of Christmas Pogues style - top band and a top tune for the festive season

I had to miss a few out, sorry; the song was recorded by Elvis but I dont know whether itd been recorded bu someone else before. Tiggers; I thought that the U2 & Darlene Love version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) might tempt you; it was for a Christmas charity record from the late eighties I think.

Yeah, but The Pogues Christmas offering is just so perfect that it wins the day I'm afraid.

Which one is shortest?

Call me an old Scrooge if you like (humbug!), but I'm absolutely sick to death of hearing the same tape of xmas songs over and over again everywhere I go. Asking me what my favourite xmas song is, is a bit like asking me where I'd most like to be poked with a red hot spike.

Mince pies, chestnuts and a couple of weeks off work - good. Slade's Merry Feckin' Christmas (again!) - not good.

Where's my Rammstein CDs?

It was a toss up for the last place between that and Shaky...

Im surprised that no ones voted for Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) its a classic; though I prefer the U2 & Darlene Love version to the original Phil Spectre Darlene Love version

To ajm, tiggers and the rest of the christmas miseries out there

Had to go for the Pogues from that list as it was last years favourite - but it changes each year - this year it's Peace on Earth/ Little Drummer Boy by Bing and Bowie.

Can't get enough of them - have a 6 CD player in the car and it's full of all chrissy CDs!

And while I'm on - does anyone know where I can get my hands on Bruce Springsteens version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town? The live version where he's chuckling the whole way through!?

Picking just one is hard; my favourite has to be The Pogues & Kirsty McColl but I like The Waitresses and Darlene Love too. I didnt vote for Wham but Ive wanted to spend Christmas in a Swiss chalet with some backing singers since 1984.....
