Worst and Best Xmas song
« on: December 20, 2013, 01:05:28 PM »
I have had a local radio station at work this week that plays older music. Some good old favourite xmas songs to build the spirit of the season have been heard. But also, they keep playing my least favourite of all time,    Wombling Merry Christmas. Never like the Wombles,  even when I was a kid in the 1970s.

Worst - Wombling Merry Christmas - the Wombles

Best - Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea

Please add yours. -

I agree with Ragamuffin - the Wombles are untouchable (I think it's actually a great song too!)

Worst - All I Want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey

Best - Merry Xmas Everyone - Slade (never fails to raise the spirits!)

As an aside, I remember JS saying at a gig years ago that he wrote Heroes on Christmas Day....

Barty, the only good thing about Wombles is they are made of a flammable material

send them all to Gavle next Xmas  ;D

Best - The Ghost Of Christmas, Manic Street Preachers.  An internet only thing that should have been huge, I love it, great lyrics, check it out...

Worst... well, I was in a fifteen-deep queue at a bookstore today and they were playing something called 'The Christmas Song' by Christina Aquilara... my God, that awful womans voice could pop the blood vessels in my brain... utterly horrible. I actually asked the girl at the till what it was so I could avoid it, forever!

I am not sure there is a best Christmas song. It seems like sounding like crap is a requirement for Christmas songs.
Fairy tale of new york is not as bad as the majority but still crap. Last Christmas is by far the worst. I here that everywhere (in public areas )   and wish it would stop.  To my disbelief and horror, I even heard it when i was in Athens.

Anything played on mainstream American radio for worst.

Best: Anything that slightly darker. If anyone knows of any please do share. :)
I do appreciate fair tale of new york as it takes place in the drunk tank and includes a very realistic argument.
