Carol Of The Bells is a wonderful song, but that Ray Conniff number ain't that. I didnt think I knew the Kate Bush one but, having heard it, I've definitely heard it before. It's indelibly Kate's signature beautiful chaos, but I can see why it's not on many compilation albums - it's not exactly a Christmas party song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kate's song is way more Christmassy than say Never Do A Tango with an Eskimo which does manage to make compilations 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 12,201 Posted December 16, 2023 Right, that does it. Final shootout. Scores are level. For now, you get +4/-6 to play with per day. At least one song must go every day (not 3, as it has been). But you never know what's round the corner in this game...oh, and everyone who has voted today can do so again.
