I hear he's just passed away too. 2016 has taken it's share of musicians. Heard the news and thought of you putting this song up

Christmas in the sun..rick n rolf..too controversial... And too pish as well. On a similar note to Rolf, am I the only one who liked Gary Glitter's 'Another Rock and Roll Christmas'? Not into Glitter's original song sorry... I do like this version by Iron Maiden's first singer Paul D'ianno though

Daring non-conformist's favourite Christmas song is Fairytale of New York
AN amazing non-conformist has shocked friends and colleagues by revealing his favourite Christmas song is the Pogues’ Fairytale of New York.
Tom Booker, from Daventry, has outraged sensibilities by choosing the unconventional seasonal track over traditional fare like Merry Christmas Everyone or Mistletoe and Wine.
Co-worker Susan Traherne said: “What a maverick. He’s blown everyone’s mind by picking a song which contains both profanity and ugly sentiment – at Christmas.
“And it’s so recent. This isn’t some 1970s hit we’re talking about. It came out in 1987, so Tom has basically completely disregarded tradition like the rock ’n roll bad boy he is.
“I should probably sleep with him.”
Booker said: “Sure, I could’ve gone the mainstream route and chosen Chris Rea to avoid ruffling feathers, like other men would’ve.
“But I am not like other men. For my favourite Christmas song is Fairytale of New York.”

RIP Greg Lake. More sad news. An eternally wonderful Christmas song that one.

How could I forget to include this on my list by my old mate Chris Norman, who was the original lead singer of Smokie before a massively successful solo career in Europe and the old eastern bloc countries. I know it's cheesy but everyone likes a bit of cheese at Christmas.
