Beautiful, but underrated Christmas songs

[Good Old Days]

Kim Wilde and Lawnmower Deth - F U Kristmas
Fizz - Don't Start Without Me

[Razzle Dazzle]

Melody Club (featuring Anna Järvinen) - I Don't Believe In Angels

[Mic1812]

Gentle jesus meek And Mild - The 1967 Sunbury Singers

[greendemon]

Okay it's not an unknown one but I never know why '2000 Miles' by The Pretenders doesn't get more love compared to most of the other well-known Christmas classics. It's gorgeous!

[Earl Purple]

Love On Christmas Eve by Tich, of course

and "This Dog's Just For Christmas (Not For Life)" by Prosecco Socialist, terribly under-performed in an XmasVision or Xmas Treasures or whatever it was called that year, but written by Dave Rotheray of the Beautiful South.

Also "Home For Christmas" my Maria Mena. Someone else entered it for one of those contests and I gave it 12 but it still finished poorly.

Tiffany - Angel

Elton John's best Christmas song, and arguably a major influence on Kunt & The Gang:

Oh I'd forgotten about that one!

I'd say that and 'Ho! Ho! Ho!, Who'd Be A Turkey At Christmas?' are his 2 best festive offerings!

[emily]

the ones that immediately spring to mind, are:

newsong- the christmas shoes (which also has a movie that goes with it)

I love christmas time by the fastt food rockers. seriously, everyone remembers them for the fast food song, and say cheese (which were both pretty cheesy lol!), but I love christmas time is actually really nice

another really nice song is josh groban's version of " I'll be home for christmas", complete with dialogue from the soldiers.

the weavers version of we wish you a merry christmas

and then, their's my most recent discovery: lea michelle

her version of oh holy night is lovely, and her other song christmas in new york

bandaid30 which didn't seem to have much recognition at all (not as much as the original version or bandaid 20, and I didn't even like the latter!)

Really like the Quo's Christmas offering managed one week in the Top 40 (No.40 20/12/08)

[Mark]

This deserved better than a No.40 position (26/12/2006)

I absolutely love It’s Cliched To Be Cynical At Christmas by Half Man Half Biscuit. Perfect Christmassy feel, lyrics that are funny and clever, and I totally agree with the sentiment.

[Whitneyfan]

2 of my absolute favourite Christmas songs are:

The Killers - Boots &

Ray Davies with Chrissie Hynde - Postcard From London.

[Paul]

Frightened Rabbit Boxing Night is so beautiful. Gives me chills every year

[Good Old Days]

From retro years I wish to add these songs :

Anne Charleston and Ian Smith - Old Fashioned Christmas
Lynsey De Paul and Barry Blue - Happy Christmas To You From Me

[Good Old Days]

Joan Regan - Must Be Santa



It's my 2nd place in Christmas songs list. The leader is obvious.

[Mic1812]

Lyra Cole - When A Child Is Born

This make me wanna cry. The song is sung with such child innocence truly beleiving that christmas is indeed a magical time.

[Good Old Days]

Bjorn Again - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
