I hate the fact they cant just play random older songs, instead they bring back about 5 and play them on every other show for 2 weeks.

The Christmas song by Wizzard is the best one. Shame they prefer to play a rubbish one by the Waitresses or something like that.

East 17 is a great song, takes me back to being a kid, when Christmas really was the best thing in the world!

All radio stations and music channels play it at Christmas, not just Radio 1. Probably because it's got a Christmassy sound.

"Number 1 was Colin Bell, Number 2 was Colin Bell, Number 3 was Colin Bell, Number 4 was Colin Bell..."

Gary Jules is much better than East 17, but East 17 is played every Christmas so its allowed.

you are kidding right?

The Waitresses song is class. That, the Pogues and Slade are pretty much the only decent Christmas songs..

I've gone off Slade in recent years, prefer Wizzard now, cheesy like Christmas songs should be!

I don't think so. He was on the One life documentary thing last week and he seems to be recovered, but is still mental in the head as he blames the press for everything. Clearly Piers Morgan and co made him run himelf over with his own car.
