christmas songs

[ampersand]

i'm sick of our classics. downloaded quite a bit recently but was listening to radio 2 today, and i was unaware george harrison had one (though technically its a new year song)

anyone got any tips of good christmas songs that don't get any or much airplay here.

we're having cd's in at work and i can't be f**ked hearing wham and wizzard every half hour.

Keep listening to Julian Casablancas - I wish it was christmas today

One of the best chrimbo songs well i think anyway

[ampersand]

just as a list for examples, i made up a christmas cd for the car and some of them are

julian casablancas - i wish it was christmas today

darlene love - all alone on christmas

christmas all over again - tom petty

spotlight on christmas - rufus wainwright

blink 182 - i won't be here for christmas

christmas time is here - gatsby's american dream

a lot of the rest are covers but far better and different to the originals that i'm bored of. radio 1 needs to take note!
