It's That Time Of Year Again - Christmas Music Thread!

[goalscrounger]

Ok, here we go....the usual two requests:

1) Any obscure Christmas tracks (old or new) that you'd recommend for this year's compilation? For anyone newish to the board, I've gone pretty deep in previous years but I always get some cracking songs off here that I'd never previously encountered. Here's a link to the previous compilations for anyone who may be getting in the festive mood!

2) While finding new, decent tracks is getting harder, thinking of a name for the compilation is now almost impossible! Any suggestions?

The phrase I read on here was "There are 12 days of Christmas and none of them are in November"

No it's not. Like the shops you're at least 2/3 weeks too early. Love Scrooge.

I guess you'll be devvoed that Ladbaby isn't doing one this year ...

Just go for the usual excuse for starting drinking early "Fck it. It's 12 somewhere."

Is it 12 days according to the Pagan calender or the Chinese. Or have I got that mixed up? Oh I dont know........

These things don't just pull themselves together in ten minutes yano? (it takes me at least an hour )

I probably won't publish until about December 23rd as usual lol

I was hoping to find some inspiration from The Young Uns' Christmas show. sadly that's not until December 23rd too, so maybe you'll receive a late suggestion.

Slightly off topic, I recently bought some showergel with Chrimbo theme called "Driving Gnome For Christmas". How could I not?

Can't add to your playlist, but I'll make a few suggestions for a compilation title.

1. All I want for Christmas is a vegan, gluten free alternative.

2. Pumpkin Spice up your life.

3. Christmas jumpers for goal posts.

4. It'll be lonely this Christmas at the WFH office party.

I would have agreed with this statement, but I've just played their 2023 Christmas single

This is one I listen to every year. Black Christmas by the late, great Poly Styrene
