Every single Christmas song besides "Little Drummer Boy" from David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

I hate Kasabian.

Maybe it's my age but the tracks on the original 1985 "Now- The Christmas Album" all stand up for me as being quite good (even Another Rock'n'Roll Christmas which, if you forget who it's by, is alright) I cannot listen to Cliff's Mistletoe & Whine, it's over-wrought and over-produced and spelt the end of him as a credible artist of decent pop records, ditto Saviours Day and The Millenium Prayer, I was never a fan of Shaky's "Merry Christmas Everyone" either, it sounded too false to me.
Now, what about "Bionic Santa" by Chris Hill, will that ever be bettered????
They're locking them up today, they're throwing away the key...I wonder who it be tomorrow, you or me?

Boney M ... Mary's Boy Chilld is still my favourite. I don't mind John Lennon's Happy Xmas and I don't hold any prejudice against Gay Glitter in the season of goodwill with his Rock n Roll Xmas. Although that feckin' Band Aide shite grates on me now.

Can't say I've ever seen the video ... just go from listening. I'm not much into music videos or music on TV as I prefer the radio or internet/satellite radio these days.
