The Christmas Poll

This poll is based about a 3CD compilation called "Christmas Hits" album contains 60 tracks and the poll hasn't got space for more than 50, so I have skipped some that aren't really Christmas songs, such as Westlife's "I Have a Dream", Gary Jules' "Mad World", Judy Collins' "Amazing Grace" and East 17's "Stay Another Day". I have also been revisionist enough to swap some inferior cover versions for the definitive and most famous versions of, say, "Merry Xmas Everybody" and "White Christmas".

And for those of you who would have wanted to vote for Michael Bolton's murder of "White Christmas" or Steps' deconstruction of "Merry Xmas Everybody", I am terribly sorry.....

I guess he has gotten more famous than his ex-boyband now, which is why they credit it like that :)

Is it weird that I like the Wham - Last Christmas?

486.52 (CaptainLorax), Friday, 24 December 2010 00:31 (fifteen years ago)

No. It's grand. Or, at least, sez I.

R Baez, Friday, 24 December 2010 00:41 (fifteen years ago)

Not weird at all...I was gonna vote for that until I saw "Fairytale of New York" on here, which pretty much obliterates everything else on this list.

cwkiii, Friday, 24 December 2010 03:50 (fifteen years ago)

Um I might have to vote for the Wombles, guys

When I made this I didn't notice the other poll. However, polling a mainstream Christmas album (with a few changes) may actually not be too similar as the other poll seems to have rather "alternative" results whereas this one is more the good, old well-known ones.
