Looks like I've set an impossible task.

[Denver]

When we had the likes of Justin Bieber, Leonard Lewis, Kelly Clarkson and Gwen Stefani im recent years you are very wrong like usual

[Crimson Dynamo]

:laugh:

you just proved Alf right!|

[Alf]

When we had the likes of Justin Bieber, Leonard Lewis, Kelly Clarkson and Gwen Stefani im recent years you are very wrong like usualPost me a Youtube video and I'll give you the verdict. You're supposed to be changing my mind, not just listing a few celebrity names.

[Vanessa]

I love this song!

[AnnieK]

This is pretty cute this year.....it also reminds me of Gary Numan Cars (although no-one agrees with me)

[Niamh.]

There's a couple of decent newer ones but not as good as your one Alf tbf

At last, we have challenges!

I need to go for a Brad Pitt, so I'll watch these on the sh!tter (you wasn't having your lunch was you?)

I do think your song is better, the ones I posted are ok as well though :p

[Alf]

Annie

That ain't gonna go down on the Christmas classic list.

And, Cars? I can't hear it myself.

[Alf]

Niamh

Nice efforts but in 20 years time, nobody is gonna be in a hurry to play these at Christmas time. Very forgettable.

Next!

[Alf]

I'm genuinely looking for something to impress me.

[AnnieK]

I don't think its a classic, its just a cute Christmas song. The darkness is a good song though and you're probably right, its the last long lasting classic

[AnnieK]

Don't like it myself but Coldplay Christmas Lights??

[Niamh.]

A bit of Gwen & Blake?

[Alf]

Don't like it myself but Coldplay Christmas Lights??The lyrics in the song say it perfectly. "it doesn't really feel like Christmas at all"

[Alf]

A bit of Gwen & Blake?

3ZT9_H4-hbMThat's the best one so far, still not convinced of greatness though, maybe a few listens will help?

Challenge accepted. In 2003 (same year) Cliff Richard released his Christmas hits album :smug:

Santa tell me - Ariana Grande

[Alf]

Challenge accepted. In 2003 (same year) Cliff Richard released his Christmas hits album :smug:Cliff's only Christmas classic is "Mistletoe and Wine" and that was from the late 1980s.

They're all older than the Alf's one though Cherie

I just saw that :laugh:

[Cherie]

very few songs recently I would bother listening to

[Alf]

Even The Wombles did an half decent job of a Christmas song, yet these overpaid pop stars of today are bloody useless.

[Alf]

I just saw that :laugh:Don't worry about it, you brought some resemblance of a decent Christmas song to the thread.

[AnnieK]

I loved Wombling Merry Christmas :laugh:

[The Slim Reaper]

All these songs are trash. This is the song you've been looking for.

fCNvZqpa-7QI think you'll find the funeral song thread next door.

[The Slim Reaper]

I think you'll find the funeral song thread next door.

Better?

[Alf]

So far, the only one that has any legs to join the school of a Christmas classic is the Kelly Clarkson one, but even that's still well debatable.

[James]

The Leona Lewis one was pretty good.

[Alf]

The Leona Lewis one was pretty good.Would that be "One more sleep?" if so, then good effort, but, nah!

[Kizzy]

Alf we finally found something we agree on!! This is truly a magical Christmas miracle ; )

[Alf]

I suppose Alf should do his top 40 Christmas song countdown thread!

What do you think?
It doesn't matter what you think, I'm doing it

[Vicky.]

17 years ago?! ****s sake, I can remember when this came out! I feel like such a dinosaur recently.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think this one is a contender

[Niamh.]

All ready been posted and ruled out I'm afraid LT

:oh:

:hmph:

[Alf]

It's now 20 years since the last great Christmas song.

[Livia]

Alfie's right. But Cherie is a close second with Driving Home for Christmas..

[Zizu]

Enjoy

St Patrick’s Day - John Mayer

Lyrics


Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You, enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue
Who knows what will be
But I'll make you this guarantee
No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
In the dark, on the phone
You tell me the names of your brothers
And your favorite colors
I'm learning you
And when it snows again
We'll take a walk outside
And search the sky
Like children do
No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
And come January, we're frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?
And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrrick's Day
We should take a ride tonight around the town
And look around at all the beautiful houses
Something in the way that blue lights on a black night
Can make you feel more
Everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be
Just like you and me
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
Come January, we're frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?
And if our always is all that we gave
And we someday take that away
I'll be alright, if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day


Songwriters: John Mayer

I can't listen to Driving Home for Christmas. A pub we used to go in had karaoke on on a Saturday night and the DJ always played it in between singers....every week....all year

[bots]

X factor ruined the christmas song all the years it was on air

[Nicky91]

probably for me personally the greatest and most iconic christmas artist, Johnny Mathis


still going strong, at age of 88!

I quite like the Ed Sheeran and Elton John one. Prob the only recent one released that I think can stand the test of time

heard this one on our radio few days ago :)

[Beso]

Justin Hawkins has a good YouTube channel with daily updates.

[Alf]

I am now willing to say that the Kelly Clarkson song "Underneath the tree" can join the list of Christmas classics. It's not as good for as the Darkness song but it is a Christmas song that will join the annual classics and stand the test of time.

It took 10 years to win me over
