Go on then....

ummmm

in no particular order

Wham - last Christmas
Mariah Carey - all I want for Christmas
East 17 - stay another day!
Cliff - mistletoe and wine!!
that song about wish it could be Christmas every day!

1. Jona Lewie - Stop the cavalry
2. The Pogues ft. Kirsty McColl - Fairytale of New York
3. Paul McCartney -Wonderful christmas time
4. The Beach Boys - Little saint nick
and I'm struggling for a number 5

Depends on my mood:

New York Fairy Tale when I'm pissed.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas when pissed on Xmas Eve walking home
When getting pissed at a Party, has to be Slade.

I hate

All of Cliff Richard's
Kids Choirs & the like

Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds
Shane Ward - That's my Goal
Leona Lewis - Moment Like This
Leon Jackson - When You Believe
X Factor Winner 2008 - Halleyua

Father Christmas - The Kinks
Fairytale of New York - Pogues
Everythings Going to be Cool this Christmas - Eels
I Wanna Rock You Hard This Christmas - The Dan Band
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town - Smokey Robinson & The Mircales

I hate everything to do with christmas.

Merry christmas I don't wanna fight tonight - ramones
Pogues

The glas vegas christmas album is very good, the other three are probably on there.

East 17 isn't really a xmas song, there isn't anything xmas about it, apart from being number one.

I want to add

Christmas rapping by The Waitresses

and

Rocking around the Christmas Tee by Ted Chippington and (I think) We've got a Fuzzbox and We're Going to Use it, (and maybe a whole load of other people from Vindaloo records that I can't remember)

I'm hoping someone like Mex or Yeovil will remember this one as it's possible I'm just imagining it.

 Good point....strangely contradictory, how a bunch of wannabe thugs could pen something as angsty sensitive as this. 

Thugs need love to Reg.

Good shout about the Ramones and Pogues.
Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Coming to Town - and no he's not going to be our new manager.
Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas
John Lennon - Happy X mas, War Is Over - a great song ruined by those X Factor muppets.

Who sang that one then ?

Mr Hanky the christmas poo, every other xmas song is crap

 True, but they usually do it in a brutal fashion.

1. Fairytale of New York - The Pogues and Kirsty McColl
2. Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Bruce Springsteen
3. Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea
4. The Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby and David Bowie
5. Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie

satan.

God save the Queen - Sex pistols.

It was banned though, can't remember which year.

Christmas music is shit, in fact I hate christmas all together, really is pointless, Call me scrooge but I cant stand it, May be different if I had kids but I really cant wait for Christmas to be over. I am working Christmas day as well so... I just see it as a day I get paid double!

I didn't have a traditional Christmas last year and this year will be similar although it should be better. Christmas can be abit of a nuisance!

The Pogues one
Chris de Burgh - A Spaceman came travelling (at a push)

I really don't like Christmas (and all it stands for).

Good shout :D Also, "The night Santa went crazy" - Weird Al Yankovic.

Anything from Oliver Twist....always watch it at Xmas,love it.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire......Nat King Cole.

Killwhitneydead - Jingle Hell/Merry Axemas  8)

Typical KWD ;)

They made a 'Christmas' album last year, but i canny find the other songs...i will have a search for the other later on.
They've got another Christmas album out now called 'Stocking Stuffher' One of the songs is up on their Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/killwhitneydead

the pretenders and queen ones deserve a mention.the pogues is the best though imo

Oh i forgot there is some aussie guy who released "santa claus you fucking cunt" that's pretty good, i think that godawful chubby brown covered it but that version is awful.

Santa Claus You Cunt - Kevin Bloody Wilson.

I believe the Toys Dolls did a Christmas album....I believe I have it somewhere...

Given that love can be simulated by taking certain narcotics, and these thugs were (in)famous for taking said narcotics I find it no surprise. Quite a few of their songs are tender.

Embarrassingly, I fucking love East 17.

Dont shoot me santa
Fairytale of new york
Merry christmas ( i dont want to fight tonight)

Hmm...I don't detect any irony or sarcasm there, so...

It's ok John. I do too.

"Its cliched to be cynical at christmas"-Half Man Half Biscuit
"St. Stephens Day Murders"-Elvis Costello
