[Prince Monolulu]

Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Low - Just Like Christmas
Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock
Perry Como - A Christmas Dream
Andy Williams - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

 

[Lady Whistledown]

It's a shame Gary Glitter turned out to be such a contemptible blot on humanity, as Another Rock 'N Roll Christmas is actually quite a good one.

Ruling that out then, I'll go:

Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)- The Darkness
Merry Christmas Everyone- Shakin' Stevens
2000 Miles- The Pretenders
Santa Baby- Eartha Kitt
I Believe In Father Christmas- Greg Lake

(If I'm honest, I could have picked LOADS, I love Christmas music and other tat)

5) Santa Claus Is Coming To Town...B. Springsteen & The E Street Band

4) Little Drummer Boy...The Dandy Warhols (7 inch red vinyl)

3) Wish You Were Here...Pink Floyd

2) Human Touch...B. Springsteen

Given the abuse that the young blogger got on another thread a few days ago, it's probably lethal to post my own recent blog on Christmas songs...
But screw it, I'm gonna post it anyway :
