Best Christmas Record?
 

whats the best christmas record ever? whilst the best selling record of all time is Bing Crosby (White christmas) i dont think it holds a candle to Phil Spectors - Christmas Album, every track a gem.:)

Pogues and Kirsty McColl - Fairytale Of New York

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

I like Mariah Carey's 'All I want for Christmas is you.'

and 'When a child is born.' I'm not sure who sang that.

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

was just about to say that myself

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

River by Joni Mitchell.

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

Interesting choice never made me think of Christmas, although I prefer the version by Sarah McLachlan.

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

I still like white christmas, but your information is wrong cashman, white christmas, having been the best selling single for decades, is now only the best selling christmas record of all time, the title of best selling record ever belongs to a certain Elton John for the candle in the wind - tribute to Diana.

Boney M ...the Christmas album :eek: :eek:


ok , now i'll go and sit in the corner and be quiet ;) ;)

I'm with the sad looking moggy............McGowen a & McCall's Fairytale of New York is a modern Classic.

But that said there are so many wonderful Christmas records that pre-date the 70s......

Slade - Merry Christmas Everyone :)

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

not really a Christmas record , but hearing a group of primary/infant schoolchilden singing "Away in a Manger" allways brings a bit of a tear to this cynical old buggers eye ;) ;)

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

Pogues and Kirsty McCall for me too.

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

Either It'll Be Lonely This Christmas by Mud or Roy Wood & Wizard Wish It Could Be Christmas Everday

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

It's gotta be Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas for me. Perhaps I'm a closet hippy or it may be because the beeb used the Prokofiev bit out of it as their Christams theme music for a couple of years when I was MUCH younger.

I forgot about this one!
YouTube - Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer by Dr. Elmo

Just been watching it on you tube. You don't seem to hear this any more

What a cracker! :D

Re: Best Christmas Record?
 

A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris De Burgh was in my humble opinion the best one yet. Has anyone listened to "Real" radio on DAB radio they are playing a mixture of Christmas songs and other stuff during the day but at night, all night they are playing all Christmas stuff.

Re: Best Christmas Record?
