    We've had a few music themed threads recently, figured it was time to see what the BBS likes when it comes to festive tunes. Do you prefer traditional carols? The likes of Sinatra crooning about Xmas? Slade, Mud and Wizzard's glam rock take on Xmas songs?

    I'll get the bank rolling with a few of my favourites:
    Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
    Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
    Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas
    The Pogues - Fairytale Of New York
    John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

    The only Christmas songs I like are The Pogues and Greg Lake's "I believe in Father Christmas".

    Driving Home for Christmas is my favourite.
    Also love “Must be Santa” by Bob Dylan
    and
    “Step into Christmas” - Elton John

    Love traditional choir hymns and carols.
    Love the 1950s crooner classics, Sinatra, Cole and Crosby.
    Love the staple classics of the 70s onwards.
    More recently like a bit of mellow Xmas jazz.

    And if you want something jazzy, quirky, with a bit of tin pan alley thrown in then give Christmas Island by Leon Redbone a listen. Had it on repeat whilst doing my Xmas cakes the other week - felt very festive.

    Original Band Aid

    Boney M - Mary's Boy Child.

    Wham - Last Christmas.

    Johnny Mathis - When a Child is Born. I can honestly say I know all the words, every verse, including the cheesy talkie bit.

    For me, I loved Mike Oldfield in the 1970's and this is the perfect sound for Christmas.
