For something a bit different try 'A Los Campesinos! Christmas EP' by Los Campesinos!

Smooth FM have a temporary Smooth Xmas channel on which you can hear stuff best forgotten, from Dana to Gilbert O'Sullivan. Some good stuff in amongst it.

It's both syrupy and bland, which is quite tricky to pull off I'll grant you. Sentimental, 'new country'-ish granny fodder.

I 'may' have been switching between that station and Classic FM. Even downloaded that Michael Buble song. But who cares; it's Christmas and I've been on hols since last week.

Gilbert O'Sullivan though. I'd completely forgotten that tune.

If you recorded Classic FM Smooth Carols as well, I'll take a punt and say we're the same person.

You cant beat a bit of White Christmas and i love Silent night as well. Love the classics like Wizard and Slade as they get everyone going, you cant help but sing along.

I love a bit of Nat King Cole at Christmas. Just so traditional.

Iron Maiden - "Another Rock n Roll Xmas", just a shame that a dirty nonce done the original as it is a great song.

Agreed, it's dreadful, I just about managed to sit through the first few bars.

Give me some lovely Nat King Cole any day.

A bit different:

- Must Be Santa by Bob Dylan https://youtu.be/a8qE6WQmNus


Songs I love that don't seem to be part of the Christmas mainstream list :

- 2000 Miles by The Pretenders
https://youtu.be/V9v5X1a23fU


- Christmas Lights by Coldplay

All of Sufjan Stevens' "Songs For Christmas", but especially the interspersed tracks that are played on old toy instruments, and the old piano used to great effect on Disc 5's "Once in Royal David's city".
