Any Christmas songs you just can't stand or even hate?
For me it has to be Driving home for Christmas by Chris Rea
I don't know what it is about this song but I just hate hearing it
What about you?

Hard to think of one I don't like apart from the one with Bing and Bowie.

Really like a number of Christmas songs, but the two that I can’t stand are The Little Drummer Boy and Troika

Re: Any Christmas songs you just can't stand or even hate?
Many of them remind me of boozy nights out running up to Christmas; parties, pub crawls, works do's, etc. Wandering around drunk with these songs on constantly. Hearing them now tends to make me shudder a bit.

FTONY is the greatest Christmas song ever by a country mile but my all time favourite is I believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake....beautiful song is that.

I'm another that can't stand Fairytale. I think it's just the most overplayed of the Xmas songs. I agree with the above poster about Greg Lake. A poignant, sardonic, bitter sweet lament and a truly wonderful song.

Re: Any Christmas songs you just can't stand or even hate?
Most of em tbh, but those produced by Phil Spector have a chance of being accepted.
As much as I’d like the pogues and Kirsty to be respected, they can’t because it’s just bloody awful. It’s trying too hard to be edgy or cool or raw or whatever…. It’s fuckin **** because of that.
Slade hit the button for me. Everything else is just trying too hard.

Re: Any Christmas songs you just can't stand or even hate?
Christmas songs I don’t mind in isolation, its just that there’s only about 9 of them and they are on constant loop from November until mid January.
Everyone loves them. I don’t get it. How can you enjoy the same songs every day, every year for three months?

Away in a manger and the lullaby Carol. Both cringeworthy and awfully boring to have to sing.

Re: Any Christmas songs you just can't stand or even hate?
Fairytale of New York, Step Into Christmas and Driving Home for Christmas are all great.
My favourite is probably Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Power of Love.
There’s a lot of crap too - really don’t like McCartney’s or Stop the Cavalry which I appreciate is tantamount to sacrilege. The Elvis rip off one is dour too - Mud?

I was in Sainsbury's earlier today and they had Dean Martin, Perry Como and Frank Sinatra on repeat. Genuinely feel for the people who work there
Good Christmas songs are at a premium - all very subjective but:
Last White Christmas - Basement 5
No Xmas for John Quays - The Fall
Christmas In Hollis - Run DMC

If I had to listen to 'Felice Navidad' all the way through I'd probably require psychiatric help.

I’m another another one who can not stand that Pogues effort. It irritates me immensely. My favourite Xmas songs would be:
White Christmas.....Bing Crosby
Blue Christmas....Elvis
So this is Christmas....John Lennon

E17 is the worst song I’ve ever heard. And sadly, the Bowie & Bing song is tripe too.

The Fairytale Of New York is my favourite Xmas song of all time. Any such song with swearing in it sums up my feelings towards this tacky time of year. Roll on January. Bah fuckin humbug.
