Christmas Songs Blacklisted Or Banned From Your Playlist This Year
I'm making a Christmas playlist on mobile phone to play in December right now mainly picking the songs from Now That's What I Call Christmas. There are 4 Christmas tunes I've decided to blacklist though though which I don't like all that much. Here is the ones I have left.
1. Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday 2. Slade - Merry Christmas Everybody 3. Cliff Richard - Mistletoe And Wine 4. The Spinners - The Twelve Days Of Christmas How many have you banned personally? |

Last year I made a conscious decision to avoid "Xmas Wrapping" and "Fairy Tale of New York" as I'd heard them so many times
Don't think there's anything I'm avoiding this year |

I've got three different Christmas CD's on my phone. These aren't so much banned, as I just hit play and let it run, but I certainly skip these songs - among others - if/ when they come on:
East 17 - Stay John Lennon - Happy Xmas Any 'easy listening', e.g. Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams etc Destiny's Child - Twelve Days Of Christmas Elton John - Step Into Christmas The Darkness - Don't Let The Bells End It's not exhaustive; there's a lot of filler on those CD's. If I don't recognise it almost immediately, it gets skipped. |

I've just bought the latest Now That's What I Call Christmas album today and I noticed there are no Cliff Richard songs on for this year like their previous albums.

I have 6 Christmas CDs that I made for the car last year - yes, 6 - and there are also many Christmas and winter-themed songs on my ipod, but you won't find:
East 17 - Stay. I didn't like it when it was out and it hasn't grown on me. "Mistletoe and Wine" or "Saviour's Day." I've nothing against Cliff and like a lot of his earlier work but again I never liked either song. Band Aid II, Band Aid 20 and Band Aid 30's versions of "Do They Know It's Christmas." The original will always be the best. Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone. Like the Cliff ones I'm just not a fan of this song but I like some of Shakey's other hits. Coldplay - Christmas Lights. This song does nothing for me; it's elevator music! Mud - Lonely This Christmas. With so many actual Elvis Christmas songs to choose from, who needs this really? |

Pretty much the ones I always blacklist:
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard Merry Xmas Everyone - Slade All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey Any version of Band Aid other than the original Stay Another Day - East 17 (this isn't even a Christmas song, it's actually about suicide according to Wikipedia )The Darkness' one Step Into Christmas - Elton John Cliff Richard's Christmas songs I would blacklist Fairytale of New York but my parents like it so it's kinda impossible to avoid it this time of year Instead I'll go on Youtube and make a playlist of less well-known Christmas songs.

Their isn't a re-release this year so the one you've bought came out last year. A lot of people complained about there being no Cliff. |

I always try to avoid these Christmas songs. But you cant because they are everywhere
What is wrong with playing other Christmas songs that we have not heard for a while |

I ban all of Cliff Richard's Christmas stuff especially that bollox known as millennium prayer. Bony M is also banned. I don't play that nonces "Another rock n roll Christmas", but as it is such a great song, I do play the Iron Maiden version.

I like the newer versions, such as from some years ago:
(To the tune of Slade) ![]() Are you waiting for the family to arrive? Are you sure that some of them are still alive? You don't see them for a whole year Then they come and drink your booze I'm going to Scotland - bo**ox to rellies, I would rather get so canned that I need two days off at New Year.

Plenty of predictable complaining about Cliff's Christmas records but I bet there is one that you have all overlooked and it's one of his best singles. It was a hit at Christmas in 1982, so will soon be seen on the BBC4 repeats of TOTP 1982 and it's this very good, credible Christmas song that was a decent sized hit but is not overplayed and overheard;

Just think if he'd been prosecuted... Every single Christmas CD ever made suddenly could not be played.
(I'm glad he was cleared though )

My plan is to sleep through Christmas and new year. 😢 What happened? Has it been a bad year? I kinda feel the same. 2016 has been a horrible year for me. I haven't been able to secure a PhD supervisor and my favourite lecturer no longer speaks to me. I'm not really bothered about Christmas and would prefer to hibernate til it's time for college again.
