    Train - Shake Up Christmas. My hatred of Train is only exceeded by my hatred of Chris de Burgh.

    You mean you don't like Lady in Red? :(

    Rob Halford - O Holy Night ; almost as good Cartman's rendition

    The Eagles - Please Come Home for Christmas ; me before hitting play, "didn't know Eagles had a Xmas song"... me after hitting play, "oh this one, of course I know this one."

    Gwen Stefani feat. Blake Shelton - You Make It Feel Like Christmas ; this is very enjoyable, and I'm really not a fan of any of the Do They Know Its Christmases

    Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah ; didn't know it was a Christmas song, but then again I don't actually care about Christmas, so whatever, it's a classic

    Joseph Mohr - Silent night (This is boring, but the alternative is ruining a classic)
    The Eagles - Please Come Home for Christmas (I like the Eagles; this song is bleh, but..)
    Gwen Stefani feat. Blake Shelton - You Make It Feel Like Christmas ('nuff said)
    Billy Mack - Christmas Is All Around (Hallelujah is not a Christmas song, and the nominated cover versions are poor - Burke's version was a f*cking abomination).

    M41 - Rob Halford (the first 30seconds I thought he was murdering the bloody song, then the guitar kicked in & that gave me a nudge to vote for it)
    M42 - The Eagles
    M43 - Band Aid
    M44 - Hallelujah without a doubt

    I believe that's 3 of my 7 nominees (Blink-182, Guyz Nite, Savatage) through to Round 1, which is three more than I expected to get through.
