O/T - What IS The Greatest Christmas Song.... Ever?

WIZZARD.
I wish it could be Christ everyday.

Christmas everyday

Those of us over a certain age, will tell you it simply has to be Slade

I was lucky enough to see them in Sophia Gardens c.1981 but missed the previous (some say better) event in the old Capitol Theatre on Queen Street, a couple of years earlier

Some other great ‘festive season’ songs out there, but I switch off fully whenever I hear the start of the excruciating ‘Santa Baby’

I remember seeing Slade even earlier in mid seventies at Barry Memorial Hall and they were great rockers and very loud. They were more than helped to get the crowd in the mood by the support band - Status Quo. Incredible to think that these two were on the same bill in Barry!!! Cost about 50p pence

Some gig that
I’m sure Judas Priest and Saxon have played there too.

not sure about Saxon but i seem to recall Judas Priest being there. Barry was a great venue in the seventies with bands like Free, Lindasfarne and Mott the Hoople playing at the height of their fame as well as the afore mentioned Slade and Status Quo

Die Hard
