Maybe it's just a tad early for me to post something here, but what the hell. Seeing as I can barely get through a day without listening to at least one Pogues song, it might surprise you to find out that Fairytale Of New York isn't my favourite Christmas song. For me it's a two-way tie between these little nuggets;
^ Reuben are one of those bands who have a handful of really good tunes, but aren't anywhere near good enough to put out a decent full-length album. As for this one, it's hardcore meets Christmas - what's not to like
^ And as for this, I love the fact that it's way more miserable than just about any other Christmas song I can think of at the moment. Gotta love that melody in the chorus too.
