Christmas songs 16:30 - Dec 16 with 2982 viewsSimplyNico

Have all the best Christmas songs now been written (I can't recall a decent new one over the last 10 years)? If so, what's the best?

Best? well, that's totally subjective! There will never be a definitive answer.

For me, I like "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Greg Lake followed by "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues/Kirsty MacColl.

In terms of Christmas Carols, I like 'Carol of the Bells'.

Best in my opinion, because it is Mr. Donny Hathaway, cheese video and all.

Great choice. Not an overplayed one neither. In fact you probably hear the cover versions of it more rather than the original here by the guy who wrote it.

Donny Hathaway was a genius but a very troubled soul. I think had he managed to overcome his mental health problems and not taken his own life he'd have eventually gone on to compose film scores and the like.

Same f ucking brilliant band. Different attitudes to the reasons of stuff.

Stupid bands and their human cobblers.

Look and Learn John Lenin.

That second track is great.

This is a decent Christmas song.

Oh come on..!

Ok, here's the elephant 🐘.

1973 smashed it


1 Merry Xmas Everybody Slade

2 I Love You Love Me Love

3 My Coo-Ca-Choo Alvin Stardust

4 You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me The New Seekers featuring Lyn Paul

5 Paper Roses Marie Osmond

6 I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Wizzard

Interestingly:

"Despite losing the 1973 battle for the Christmas number one spot, Wizzard's 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' has become equally as loved as its Slade rival. In ITV's 'The Nation's Favourite Christman Song' special in 2012 'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday' was voted second, behind 'Fairytale of New York' and ahead of 'Merry Xmas Everybody'."

I think I probably personally have Wizzard edging ig over Slade these days.

All in all, those three are it for me.

2012 is ten years ago. So I thought at get a more current opinion. There are so many lists out there, based on quite a few criteria. Oddly - to me at least - Mariah Carey comes out top on the vast majority of these "charts". Can't stand that one.

I like this one. Only a month old...

Obviously a work party chart is going suppress gregg lake and Chris rea.

'All I Want For Christmas Is You' blatantly rips off the tune for 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' (particularly Spector's arrangement for The Crystals) and I'm amazed no one has pointed this out before. Or is it just me?
