YoungWillz 21,050 Posted December 24, 2019 Tough to pick a favourite Christmas song. Problem of being around a while. Christmas number ones are either notoriously populist or notoriously awful. So here's a list of favourites from through the years: Wombling Merry Christmas - The Wombles All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey Driving Home For Christmas - Chris Rea A Spaceman Came Travelling - Chris De Burgh In Dulci Jubilo - Mike Oldfield Caravan Of Love - Housemartins Stay Another Day - East 17 Lonely This Christmas - Mud Sure I have missed a ton. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,398 Posted December 24, 2019 The best Christmas number 1 by a long way was from the year I was born - 2 Become 1 by The Spice Girls - and I won't hear anything to suggest otherwise. Best Christmas song altogether comes courtesy of The Pogues & Kirsty, because any song you can sing better as you get drunker is genius. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is so obviously a bit of sly marketing that latches on to the perfectly proper celebration of the winter solstice. In the northern hemisphere anyway. If people south of the equator wish to join in, that's their business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,141 Posted December 24, 2019 Here are my traditional favourite anti-Christmas songs again. Both from this century! "Black Christmas" by the late lovely Poly Styrene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML0cD0REC4Y And the appropriately funereal "All I Want For Christmas Is New Year's Day" by Hurts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05J79Y8zQTw You don't hear these in the shops very often ......

The Pogues are awesome, naturally. Anyhow, my favourite festival music is from A Very Scary Solstice by the HP Lovecraft Historical Society. Of which my favourite is the timeless Harley Got Devoured by the Undead (warning, contains spoilers for The Statement of Randolph Carter from the title onwards...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCOZ7pp332g&list=PL2F76563063A68123&index=10 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boudicca 702 Posted December 24, 2019 We were trying to buy a bed once an this boy on Craigslist was "I'll sell you this for $800 OR swap for an AR 15. Now, as assault rifles go it's okay, gets a bad rep, but I was a bit worried he'd get sellers remorse and go shoot up the mall with me there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
