Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Xmas

Overexposure x100. Though, as I said. I never liked it anyway, I never liked the Pogues full stop.

I've not met many, if any, people who dislike the Pogues.

But you live in The States, no?

exactly

Yes, I do. Are they more disliked in the U.K.?

The song is more overexposed.

You don’t hear often people here complaining about The Beautiful South either.

That's an odd comparison, at least from my personal point of view. I've known a lot of people who adore the Pogues since the 80s.

Boozy misanthropes of a certain stripe.

I don't get how a Xmas song can lack sentimentality. That's the point!

Dexys would be a good comparison - I don't know if anyone here actively hates Kevin Rowland, but i swear if I hear Come On Eileen one more time,,, Fairytale is worse though as you're guaranteed to hear it here a billion times every December

I love Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and airplay will never smother it.

Feel like that would have been the cue for Morbius to come and make a cutting remark and then for Eric to make nice.

more like the other way around

Can't help but feel a little bit heartbroken every time I hear George's voice tbh. Not that Kirsty MacColl's death wasn't as tragic

Anyway, voted 2000 Miles

I never liked Kirsty McColl either!

Haha, I'm not a fan either tbh. her death was really horrible on a human level though

xp

Of course

I don't think of Fairytale as a New Wave song.

I love Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and airplay will never smother it.

yeah where is Things Fall Apart?

on the Ze album where it belongs ;)

I just noticed noted New Wave artist Bing Crosby is in it. Fair enough as he was more radical than some of the others.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
