    best by mile is The Pogues- fairytale of New York

    like most things xmas related i just cant stand hearing xmas songs now as opposed to say 20-25th december .

    Correct. There were carol singers at St Johns station yesterday evening, absolutely ridiculous. Get lost, and don't darken my door for at least a fortnight.

    Hearing 20 seconds of that Saviors Day clip genuinely startled me. Think the laptop is going off for a bit now. Bye.
  • Driving home for Christmas is good too
  • Cant beat a bit of Slade or Wizzard,Pogues also. Anything by Cliff Richard is my worst.

    Best -Slade or The Waitresses
    Worst - Anything by Cliff Richard
  • Best - Kevin Bloody Wilson's Santa Claus song (Youtube it only if not easily offended)
    Worst - FGTH - The Power Of Love. Not a bad song but not a Christmas song is it??

    I do associate this with Christmas but only because it came out at that time of year. It may have been the Christmas number one that year (before the big fuss about who would be number one at Christmas).

    Does East17 'Stay' count as a Christmas song??

    If so, that. Absolute tune.
  • George michael December Song is beautiful
  • Don't shoot me Santa clause by the killers

    I think Cliff's been a bit unfairly criticised today.

    I love christmas, and there are loads of songs I like, but there's been some real bad stuff released through the years (thanks Cliff!)

    Best :-

    Jonah Lewie Stop the Cavalry
    Smashmouth Do it right
    Mike Oldfield In Dulce Jubilo

    Worst:-

    John Lennon Merry Christmas (whining is over)
    Cliff Richard Mistletoe and Whine
    Pogues Horror tale of New York
    Cliff Richard Saviours Day

    Too many favourites to say as have 717 on iTunes and love Christmas songs. !!

    But if pushed Christmas Song Nat King Cole or Silver Bells Kate Rusby or elfs lament Michael Buble or Dominic the Christmas Donkey.

    Worst. Mistletoe and Wine. CR
  • Abba's Chicken Tikka was a Christmas hit and a good antidote to Turkey and all the trimmings.

    Is there really a bad Christmas song out there?? I think the real question is who sings which song the worst?
