There is so many so I wont list any but for me, it has to be fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty McCaul.

I used work in a shoe shop and we played the same Christmas cd over and over and over for the whole of December. Ever since then I have a loathing of Christmas songs.
If I had to pick I'd probably say Fairytale also or I Wish I Was At Home For Christmas and I wish I was this year but spending it on the beach won't be too bad.

Do Ya mean Can you Stop The Cavalry? Thats very good.Originally Posted by finlma
I've the same problem in work only i love the fecking thing.
Anyone who whinges about Christmas in any form is a misery. Christmas is everything thats good about the world. Even after the whole present competition and capitalism.
Think this was already discussed.
I picked Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland which is a strange take on the original that Dave Fanning (cant wait for the fab 50) plays every Christmas.
I like most Christmas songs. Last Christmas is cringy but by god its up there.
Ever hear the Manic Street Preachers sing it?

City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Christmas songs are the only thing you'll hear me complain about. I mean this cd had I Saw Mom Kissing Santa Clause, Rudolph, Jingle Bell Rocks - I still have nightmares.
This is my first Christmas in the summer and I have to say its not the same. Give me the cold for just one week.
I like pretty much all Christmas songs to be honest.
Shakin Stevens one would be favourite I'd say.

Champions!
With you on that one Sligoman. How the Pet Shop Boys kept Fairytale off the No 1 spot in England is one of life's musical travesties.....
That Jona Lewie 'Can you stop the cavalry' song is good as well. Particularly like it because it mentions my ma in there (Mary Bradley) ....
Without doubt it has to be Fairytale of New York. Ye cant beat a bit of Shakin Stevens aswell!! Like that Long December by the Counting Crows too.

Fairytale of NY is the best one, but I like the Pretenders "2,000 miles" and that
East17 one "Stay"(?)...

Anyone ever hear the Beatles Christmas Song?
It was issued in the 1960's to members of the Fan Club.. someone taped it for me once and I think it may have been included on one of those Anthology releases but not 100% sure about that.
The lyrics were something like this....
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
O.U.T. spells out !
Just goes to show not everything Lennon and McCartney wrote was great

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
It was released with the Friends of Mr Cairo album around December 1981 that also included State of Independence, another class tune, but 'I'll find my way home' wasnt released as a single until the following January but it has a couple of xmas chimes thrown in for good measure. The song didnt reach no.1 as far as I can recall but it did reasonably well in the Top 10. I never had the album but if you were to pick it up on vinyl it would be a collectors item. I got Jon & Vangelis' greatest hits CD in HMV a couple of years back and ye shoudl have seen teh look on yer wan's face in the shop, like who the **** are they and shouldnt you be buying Puff Daddy, Linkin Park, Limp Biscuit and all that sh1te.
I'm a great fan of early 80's synthesised New Wave electro-pop. To me that was the Golden Age of music, me being a classic 80's head minus the mullet and makeup of course, Rick Astley look. (I still think I have an old addidas Waterford United 'Hoffmans Lager' top circa '84 in my closet somewhere) Some of my favourite stuff is from the 80's, Simple Minds, the Blades, Thin Lizzy and U2 (before Bono went all political and poppy with is save the save the Dolphins ******).
I dont have much time for alot of stuff on the shelves today, hip hop, boy/girl band stuff, girlfriend drives me crazy with her Kylie/J-Lo nonsense (but she's got a fine big fvcking arse I give her that) Franz Ferdinand 'Take me Out' is the official anthem for the RSC faithful.

Does anyone here remember " A Merry Jingle" by the Greedies?
It was two from Thin Lizzy plus two from the Sex Pistols and was a medley
of " We Wish you a Merry Christmas" and " Jingle Bells"

Jon and Vangelis... class.. do you remember their first single together back in 1979... " I Hear You Now"It was released with the Friends of Mr Cairo album around December 1981 that also included State of Independence, another class tune, but 'I'll find my way home' wasnt released as a single until the following January but it has a couple of xmas chimes thrown in for good measure.
