RIP Shane. I'll still raise a glass to you on your birthday (Dec 25th). The best singalong drinking song ever written.
The Ballad of Sally Maclennane. I saw The Pogues live at Reading Uni in about 1985, and again at the Brixton Academy for one of their pre-Christmas concerts circa 2008.
Brilliant live band.

How about the Christmas tunes that instantly make you want to hit the 'mute' button? 1. Do they know it's Christmas? Just awful. 2. Merry Christmas. Slade. 3. Last Christmas. Wham. 4. I wish it could be Christmas every day. (Wizzard). I don't even mind Shakey, or Maria, but some songs have been played to death! It's aural torture. Happy Christmas. A special mention must go to a mashup of Wizzard and the Wombles with "I wish it could be a wombling merry Christmas, every day". Which just does not scan. Watch it. I dare you to watch it. |

But at least it's not "Last Christmas" by West Ham. My wife is a big (possibly the biggest) George Michael fan. Despite his unquestionable talent, believe me, I've suffered over the years. |

RIP Annie Nightingale. I was listening to The The this morning (This Is The Day and Uncertain Smile). I remember hearing these tracks played by Annie on a Sunday evening when she had her request show slot - probably early mid-90's. And then I hear she has passed. Very sad.
