Excluding the Phil Spector album because it's all great and I don't wanna pick it apart - a top 12, because there's no room for hate at Christmas guyz
12. Bright Eyes - The Night Before Christmas
11. Camera Obscura - The Blizzard
10. Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
9. Lucky Soul - Lonely This Christmas
8. St Etienne & Tim Burgess - I Was Born On Christmas Day
7. Girls Aloud - I Wann Kiss You So (Christmas In A Nutshell)
6. The School - Kiss You In The Snow
5. The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song
4. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping
3. Badly Drawn Boy - Donna & Blitzen
2. The Ramones - Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight)
1. The Pogues & Kirsty Maccoll - Fairytale Of New York
A few tunes I've not heard here I'll have to check out and possibly add to me Christmas playlist. And I also have to admit to quite liking the Mariah Carey one, it's very nice I think.
Incidentaly, the 1994 Christmas top 3 was:
1. East 17 - Stay
2. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
3. Oasis - Whatever
Vintage.

I Hate 1. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping I really really like that song. It almost made my top 6! I've always hated it for some reason, i've always felt they just sounded really disinterested when they were singing it, and the "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas" bit annoys me because the words don't fit properly and they have to squash it a bit. |

All part of the charm!
I forgot Low - Just Like Christmas from my list, if that counts
and also Travis did a less hysterical version of Joni Mitchell's River during the height of their popularity, it's very nice and warm and fuzzy

All I want for Christmas is hers? That's a good one. Anyway, from the top of my head and in no order I'd say: Eels - Christmas is going to the dogs Eels - Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas Julian Casablancas - I wish it was Christmas today Crocodiles & Dum Dum Girls - Merry christmas baby (please dont die) Best Coast and Wavves - Got Something For You Wham - Last Christmas And some of Dylan's ones from last year too. Haven't heard the Ramones one, guess I should. Surely forgetting some white classics too  |

edit: apparently it's a Mud song.
