That Phil Spector album was a must Chez Gassy for years, sadly not now.....
The Kinks - Father Christmas

I've said it before and I will say it again. Sir Ray is a far better song writer than Lennon or McCartney...
Simply having a wonderful Xmas time.......My arse!

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Re: Good Christmas songs
I have the Kinks one on my christmas playlist, my OH isn't so keen as it's not full of Slade and Band Aid
I wasn't aware of the Kinks one until a few years ago I just put it on the playlist and left it, Evie was singing to it later on. It's a cracking tune.
All of the above also feature in my playlist
I found myself watching A Very Murray Christmas last night and I really enjoyed it's irreverence.
Bad Santa is only a day or so away

Re: Good Christmas songs
The most cynical Christmas song must be the Pretenders' 2000 Miles.
I think they must have had a message from their management to knock out a Christmas tune and they took bits from a few dozen places and diced and spliced this beauty...

Taking the pish, yes, but it's a good tune.
Pogues and Kirsty McCall anyone? Live version.

Re: Good Christmas songs
If I remember, my James Brown Christmas song advent calendar didn't go down so well here although, to be fair, his Christmas songs tend to be more about James Brown than Christmas anyway.
There are lots of good ones out there. I'm not a big Donny Hathaway fan but I like this one - very Stevie Wonder:
Donny Hathaway- This Christmas
The incomparable Jimmy Smith on organ for a jazzy Christmas workout:
Jimmy Smith - Jingle Bells
Esquivel and his unique space-age lounge sound:
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town - Esquivel and his Orchestra
There has to be one:
Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto - James Brown

Re: Good Christmas songs
I'll have to find some time to work my way through this thread - looks promising.
In the meantime, I've just noticed that Radio 2's album of the week is the excellent JD McPherson's "Socks"
Hey Skinny Santa

I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Re: Good Christmas songs
I really do not like that song but it does hold some wonderful memories for me. Christmas 1977 spent in a remote farm house on Llandefalle Hill near Brecon.
