The Very Best (and Very Worst) Christmas Songs of All Time!

[Crossy]

OK, it's that time of year again. The "seasonal" songs are on their way.

 

So, let's have your ideas of the good, the bad and the indifferent.

 

Just post your very best and very worst and truly awful Christmas songs of all time, YouTube links optional but preferred.

 

My picks;-

 

Best, actually I think this 35th anniversary version is better than the original.

 

 

And THE worst

 

 

 

 

 

[Ron19]

 

And the worst ( where is trans face palm when you need it )

 

 

[Crossy]

Lord, what was Paul M. smoking?

 

I lasted a whole 30 seconds ...

[pgrahmm]

 

Tree lights only & a good sound system.....One of my favs at Christmas...

Elvis with JB on guitar.....

[NoshowJones]

 

[Crossy]

Let's try for the two, best AND worst

 

I also note the the Paul M. record states "not for sale" I really cannot imagine why ...

[Suradit69]

Best: Leontyne Price "O Holy Night" (YouTube doesn't do it justice).

 

 

Worst: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer ... at least this production.

Good or bad ?

You will notice that above  "NOT FOR SALE"  are the words "PROMOTION RECORD".

 

It's a pre-release "Promo", distributed free to Radio DJs.

Beat me to Grandma - but O Holy Night by her is devine.....

[AhFarangJa]

Worst.......Anything at all that Boney M threw on to an unsuspecting public......Best.......I will get back to you on that one.....

[PoorSucker]

 

[adammike]

Worst Stevie Nicks croaking her way through silent night.

Best is still Bing Crosby doing silent night and Kings College Cambridge. 

[Damrongsak]

Bob Rivers has some great "Twisted Christmas" songs.  Like Walking Round In Womens Underwear.

 

 

This one is pretty good:

The worst of the worst is the ridiculous ""I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe last night""

Best - Fairytale of New York, The Pogues
Worst - the rest.

Bringing us bang up to date.

 

I usually like Sia's offerings, but this just doesn't do it for me.

Any advance on 33 seconds?

 

Volume must be set to 11 or your time does not count!

 

Promo. disc or not, did anyone actually play (or worse buy) this carp?

[faraday]

 

Horrible!
