The thread is a great idea, and actually limiting to 5 with no room for expansion is what makes it worthwhile, otherwise we'd all just be compiling lists of dozens of songs. Good call
Cheers I thought making it tight with 5 will make it hard to pick. I’m already having picker remorse. So many good ones missing on my list. Just goes to show how many Christmas bangers there really are.0 -

Oops looks like Frankie wasn’t a number 1 but I always thought it was.
They don't have to be Christmas number 1's just your favourite Christmas songs!

Had to have a good think about this, surprising how when you go through your favourites how hard it is to just pick 5.
Anyway my top 5-
5. Last Christmas - Wham. Possibly the greatest Christmas music video of all time?
4. The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole. Simply beautiful, a voice as rich and warm as velvet.
3. Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade. A Christmas classic, good fun and Noddies "ITS CHRISTMAS" at the start
2. Happy Christmas, War is over - John Lennon. A great song by one of the greatest.
1. Do they know its Christmas - Band Aid. From the bells at the start to the message this song means and the history behind it as well.0 -

And unlucky to miss the top 5 but possibly doesn't belong in this thread - Troika (Lieutenant Kije) by Prokofiev
It absolutely belongs in this thread IMO and in fact was in my top 5 & after the job I had of limiting my selection to 5 & having no 'honourable mentions' as Loughc had requested i'd be aghast if it deemed as unworthy
So if you feel like changing your 5 to include it, rock on my friend!!:) "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

I was thinking it would be more in a "Top 5 Christmas music pieces" list.
Funny though, I also always associate it with Tom Dunne. It was another thing that marked the start of Christmas for me a decade ago. Absolutely loved hearing it every day0
I look forward to it.
