The Pogues without a doubt for me, it is just Brilliant and sums up Christmas for better than most Christmas songs. White Christmas is a lovely song but its a bit too nice if you know what I mean. Reply to this message | Report message

I despise them all, but none more than Slade's merry Christmas. As soon as you hear the first bars of that song, sometime around late November, you know its going to get pounded into your head by every musical source for the next two months. Reply to this message | Report message

The pouges is ideal to sing when your drunk. Last edited by: VxFan on Mon 19 Dec 11 at 19:42 Reply to this message | Report message

Indeed, they played it on Saturday at the usual rock club, the audience aged between 18 and 50 all really loved it. Mind you most Pogues are great to sing along to after you've had a few.... Reply to this message | Report message

A forum always has a Scrooge :). I quite like that the song as a song, but I agree it is over played and gets in your head. I try and counter it by playing Cum Feel the Noise at this time of year. Personally I think some of the best Christmas songs are the carols, so much nicer than all the cheesy pop stuff. Reply to this message | Report message

The Pogues/ Kirsty McCall by a country mile. A few others are worth a listen. Yesterday's Sounds of the Seventies included the Bowie/Crosby rendering of Drummer Boy; a twee old song but brilliantly rendered. Reply to this message | Report message

Slade is my favourite - a brilliant pop song which makes the most of the band's attributes, particularly Noddy Holder's vocal. Least favourite is The Pogues, sentimental faux-Irish folk claptrap. Reply to this message | Report message

Christmas Time, by The Darkness. I must also confess to a softspot for the Mariah Carey number mentioned by the op, but that is because I have been singing it so much lately with this lot: www.rockchoir.com/home.html Reply to this message | Report message

Favourite Carol is NKC singing O Holy Night - just can't beat it. That is what Christmas means to me. Favourite Christmas Song? That's more difficult - I like the gimmicky ones like the Wombles but also like A Spaceman Came Travelling from Chris De Burgh. Another question on the same theme is - what is the most recent Christmas song that will be in the "list of Christmas songs" for years to come? Most recent I can think of is East 17's Stay Another Day and even then, it is not in the Slade / Wizzard league? Reply to this message | Report message

Leaving on a jet plane. Peter, Paul & Mary I think. Preferably somewhere remote. I wish. My view is jaundiced after too many years in retail. Reply to this message | Report message

The most applicable one for this site has to be "Driving home for Christmas", Chris Rea. Reply to this message | Report message

Stille Nacht. Has the advantage of not being a plastic Irish song. The censor does realise that every mention of the pogues is a back-handed reference to their original name? Last edited by: NortonES2 on Tue 20 Dec 11 at 10:01 Reply to this message | Report message

At son's school carol service last week one of the carols was Stille Nacht. Fortunately they printed the words in the programme, and with my one year of school German I just about struggled through the first verse. But I was finding the second verse hard going - couldn't work out the pronunciations. Then half way through I realised that the second verse was in French. Reply to this message | Report message

As a member of the school choir (BFPO 45) in Berlin we were asked to sing Stille Nacht to residents of an old peoples home. In German. Judging by the mahogany facial expressions, English army brats singing to elderly, probably punctilious, Germans in their own language was maybe not very well judged.

I thank the lord for Jazz FM, nary a chrissy song played. You have to admire the jazz folk for the depth and strength of their prejudices. Reply to this message | Report message

>> The Pouges fairy tale of New York, Saw a cracking version of this on TV yesterday - the real Shane MacGowan partnered by, er, a Beluga whale.
