Sick of X-Factor as No.1 at Chrimbo

[Trav Le Bleu]

Personally I'm a non-partaker of the Christmas festivities, but my favourite track with a festive bent is this

Featuring Tim Burgess too (let's give him a credit since the vid doesn't )

and a shameless airing of Sarah Cracknell

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Probably The Pogues / Wham! if I'm being honest.

[Webbo]

If you hadn't started this thread Trav I was going to do it next week. This one is my favourite;

Unfortunately you have to watch 2 mins of crap acting to get to the song.

[Joe.]

I'm keen for a bit of Band Aid (original's best) and Fairytale of New York.

[Jack]

The Pogues.

[JakeShingler]

The Pogues.

Same love the origional one tho.

[Libertine]

Same love the origional one tho.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I'm pleased it's not just me that didn't get that.

[JakeShingler]

Better than last years version with Amy McDonald

[Libertine]

Who the hell even knows about that?

Everyone is referring to the original, trust me.

I can confirm that I did not know about this.

[Samilktray]

Me neither.

[Libertine]

I'm aware of the perfomance with Katie Melua, but that's it.

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Love loads of Xmas ones:-

Fairytale of New York by Shane MacGowan & The Pogues

Stop The Cavalry by Jona Lewie

Pipes Of Peace by Paul McCartney

Gaudete by Steeleye Span

Simply Having A Wonderful Xmas Time by Paul & Linda McCartney

[lildave3]

Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry is definitely my favourite, when that comes on I KNOW it's christmas.

Followed by the Pogues/Kirsty Macoll.

[Nod.E]

I like Status Quo's one that they just released (It's Christmas Time)

Am I the only one who thinks it sounds remarkably like the red drawf theme?

[Part Of The Crowd]

i personally favour the 1993 number one classic 'Mr Blobby' by mr blobby

Not Can We Fix It by Bob The Builder?

They could by the way.

[Part Of The Crowd]

They could by the way.

it was a toss up between the two but i think due to mister blobby being the only non human to get there let him slightly edge it, plus his song is absolutely hilarious

[Number 6]

There seem to be many campaigns to get Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah to number 1 instead of Alex. I hope this works, seems very unlikely but have downloaded it again anyway. It's currently #4 in the iTunes charts and now is getting support from Radio 1, here's hoping!

Buckley set for No.3

Its better than Rick whos campaign appears to have faultered. Lets just hope this publicity puts it at least to No.2

[Part Of The Crowd]

Leonard Cohen's version is on the up aswell

we could be on for having Hallelujah in each of the top three positions, two of which are even the same version!

the buckley one is my favourite though, such a troubled man and so sad he died so young, only 30

He was a freaking genius.

The word is thrown about all the time these days, but he really was.

Had the greatest death ever too, drowned in a river whilst singing Led Zeppelin.

Briiliant.

[Jack]

The Buckley version is brilliance.
