I appear to be the only person alive who enjoys the Jethro Tull Christmas album, even though I don't actually like Jethro Tull.

This is going well, my 'vision' of a database of cool forgotten christmas tunes has yielded 3 replies (thanks chaps) and a time-waster - Come on 2WG, post the link, it might be shoot but we need all the vids we can get! Gonna start accepting Wham christmas hits soon.

Barenaked Ladies -Elf's Lament.

Are we allowed the original effervescent Hallelujah, from that master of cheer and uplifiting of spirits, Leonard, slit your wrists, bemoan the futility of life, drill through walls with your voice, Cohen?

No: Tough, here he is anyway

James Brown did a whole Christmas album.

The kinks of course ....

This has actually always been one of my favourite Xmas songs, I don't even think it's alternative.

I suppose some might say it is though...

I'm surprised no-one's posted this yet... It's Cliched to be Cynical at Christmas.

I played this to a christian friend of mine who is of a sensitive disposition. His face showed real physical pain. I just think it's hilarious.

I don't know. You make us feel guilty and then we drag our sorry asses in here, you mock us.

I sulked, you responded in a positive manner - the 'ho ho ho' was a jolly santa laugh of gratitude!
