Josef K Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I apologise if this has already been done. Just ignore if so. what are your favourite christmas songs mine are 1. Two Fingers of Firewater : Douglas Fir. 2. Darren Hayman : Christmas Wars. 3. HMHB : Cliched To Be Cynical. 4. St Etienne : I Was Born On Christmas Day If i knew how to use YouTube id put the Darren Hayman tune on here but i don’t. I don’t think Two Fingers Of Firewater released Douglas Fir, but it is a beautiful song even though it’s quite depressing. So i have been told by friends & Da Family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 33 minutes ago, Shadow said: Nothing comes near to this as far as I'm concerned. Goosebumps no matter how often I hear it. 1 "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer."

Gary Glitter! Hate the man not the music! Some great songs from the glam rock era , loved them all , just so much fun , they didn't pretend to be anything else although some of the bands were genuine rockers really , definitely ###### that the biggest exponent of the genre turned out to be a peadophile In answer to the OP , the pogues for me followed by the 2 big classics by Slade and Roy Wood , " ok you lot , Take it " Edited December 12, 2022 by GUBRATS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 With regard to Futtocks' and Ullman's selection of "Gaudete", it's good to know a song can still be popular 440 years after publication! It appeared in the Finnish collection, "Piae Cantiones" ('Pious Songs') of 1582. I agree with them; it is good. My church choir will sing it on Sunday during the annual carol service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelaide Tiger Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 No idea how to put videos on posts but surely ‘Christmas Countdown’ by Frank Kelly - Father Jack Hackett in Father Ted - deserves an honourable mention. There is a video of him on You Tube performing the song on Top of the Tops on 5 January 1982. The song got to 26 in the UK charts. But for me the Christmas Carol ‘In the bleak mid-winter’ tops all modern efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which begs the question - which tune? Gustav Holst or Harold Darke? "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.
