You guys in the US are lucky, you don't get to experience the never-ending joys of Slade:

... argh!

But there are a few decent xmas tunes about...

[ame="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff3aoSyYOVs"]YouTube - The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York[/ame]

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

Fuckin classic! RIP Kirsty MacColl
 


Here's a couple more:

Saint Eteinne with Tim Burgess from The Charlatans (There's just something about Sarah Cracknell...)

Apocalyptica - Little Drummer Boy

Right, gotta stop looking at random xmas shit and do some fuckin work!
 
I will give +rep to anybody who finds Bob Seger singing Little Drummer Boy from about 20 years ago.

And Bruce Coburn had a great Christmas song that had the line "Mary had a baby oh Lord..."

BTW Coburn is best Canadian guitarist ever...:xmas-smiley-016:

The radio has been on in my office today and all I have heard is :

Wham - Last Christmas
East 17 - Stay Now

The worst one of all was "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" WTF?

East fuckin 17... argh!

Small world.. I was born in Walsgrave Hospital!
 
I think I remember seeing this chick (KT Tunstall) on HDNet or something. It's a decent cover of a Pretender's song that I never really remember hearing at Christmas.
