Band I love: Bleached
Holiday Song: Jingle Bells
https://youtu.be/9evlQXXMcn8

Nice fun punked-up version and the kind of song you could almost see yourself screaming along to in a pit of sweaty people (oh shit, we don't do that anymore)

Don't have a link, but the best christmas song without a doubt is Fairytale of New york by Shane MacGowan & Kirsty MaColl.
 
 I'll fight anyone who disagrees!  :mad: 
 
 Second is jonah louie, Send in the cavalry.

My wife had said that Fairytale sucks, and that the Maria Carey and Gorge Michael Xmas songs are best.
I guess there's going to be a fight.

Agreed on both. The Pogues absolutely suck though, and Wham does not.

One of favorite holiday albums still remains Sharon Jones & The Dap-kings, it was a great holiday show as well.

Brian Setzers Big Band Christmas albums are all fun listens

and i've taken one for the team and the Jon Bon Jovi cover of Fairytale of Christmas is truly awful, couldn't even get half way through it...

even steve lillywhite CBE took  to twitter to say  "The worst ever version of this song . Sorry Jon ... embarrassing and pointless"

Wow that was absolutely insane https://youtu.be/KB9vvxYocW0
(only 6k views...my kids have youtube vids with more views)

I have to imagine the banter between the guys in the sound booth "are you going to tell him? Cause I like my paycheck and don't plan on telling him how bad this is"
His accents kill me.  It almost seems like a parody it's soo bad.

has renewed my interest in seeing the Julian temple Crock Of Gold movie ...

I only made it to 3:40


It’s pretty bad but the song is so damn good I still got goosebumps...I don’t begrudge him trying


But It’s one of those songs nobody should ever cover.. I mean come on Shane inhabits and lives the song and Kirsty MacColl (RIP you are missed and more so this time of year)  maybe the greatest female voice of the past forty years....come on!

we can sure derail a thread in these parts... according to the twitter JBJ's take on Petty's christmas tune "Christmas All Over Again" is equally painful, there is speculation it's due to his aging voice and it's really beginning to show the wear and tear.

and having grown up listening to big band I've always enjoyed Setzers foray into big band arrangements and i'd much rather listen to him channel his inner sinatra verses robbie williams numerous attempts at crooning

i also liked Chris Isaak's  christmas album, but it's essentially an elvis rehash

motown always turned out great Christmas tune arrangements and my one of leading favorites will always be Marvin Gaye's Purple Snowflakes
