10 There is no ten, and these are not albums and they are not in order as my favourites, i just wrote them down as they popped in my head, every thing you hear at shopping centres, supermarkets, television, Sidney Myer music bowl, carols from the domain is all rubbish and the people who are responsible should be put to sleep, the only exception is SBS's Rockwiz which do a great job of a christmas special, Colin.

If you  record player is broken . Or the kids have been using your favourite CD as a drink coaster and it doesn't work either. Make sure to tune into the Rock Quiz Christmas special tonight on SBS. Juila & Brian take over where "The Panel" left off

Colcol, you've dragged out some gems there mate!
I haven't listened to Christmas songs for a couple of decades but since having kids, those dusty records are all coming out. The Aldi USB record player is coming in handy!

If this is the recording from the one at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda the other night, which I luckily managed to get to, watch out for Lanie Lane who sings a Tom Waits song "Postcard from a hooker". Star of the show IMO.

Whatever this album is off!

Right on the money Bix. Looks like you get the choclates this year.

For 2012 i am going to refuse to shop anywhere unless they are playing Ian Kilmister and Motorhead, Run Rudolph run, Motorhead you gotta luv em, they played at a outdoor rock concert and they got complaints about excessive noise from 6 MILES! away, Colin.

Right on the money Bix. Looks like you get the choclates this year.

Glad you enjoyed it Paul. Santa brought me the new Tom Waits and Lanie Lane albums for my troubles

No-one has mentioned "A Christmas Gift for You", otherwise known as Phil Spector's Christmas Album, from 1963. Features the Crystals doing the version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" which Springsteen (a big Spector fan) revived for his live version of the song (as mentioned by Colcol). Also love "Run Rudolph Run", originally by Chuck Berry, but covered really well by Jo Jo Zep in late 70s. Must find the Motorhead version. Should be a killer.
