And so this is Christmas, and what have we done? Taken your suggestions and our own virulently held opinions and compiled a list of our five favourite Xmas songs of course! And here they are:
The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl – Fairytale of New York- Last Christmas – Wham
- Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End) – The Darkness
- Do They Know It’s Christmas? – Band Aid
- Just Like Christmas – Low
It had to be the winner, magically evoking the yuletide joy of arguing with your loved ones and getting wasted on booze!
An absolute classic! Pipped to the post only by the fact that it’s Wham and I would have to commit suicide if I put them at number 1.
It has to make the top 5 purely because of the hilarity and downright wrong-ness of a choir of children singing “bell(s) end”.
The first one, obviously. I mean you’d choose Sting, Duran Duran and Kool and the Gang (!) over Beverly Knight, Natasha Bedingfield and Busted any day, right?
An annual treat at Xmas Fuzz Club and a personal favourite of mine, this is Christmas music it’s OK to like.
