So Christmas is well on the way.
As I make this posting, I am listening to the best 3 Christmas songs of all time on Grooveshark.
They are (this is the order I am playing them and also my order of preference):
1) Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby and David Bowie
2) Fairytale of New York - The Pogues
3) White Christmas - Bing Crosby
Wikipedia has the following to save about songs 1 and 3 above:
Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy
Crosby's last TV appearance was a Christmas special filmed in London in September 1977 and aired just weeks after his death. It was on this special that Crosby recorded a duet of "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Peace on Earth" with the flamboyant rock star David Bowie. It was rush-released as a single 45-rpm record, and has since become a staple of holiday radio, and the final popular hit of Crosby's career. At the end of the century, TV Guide listed the Crosby-Bowie duet as one of the 25 most memorable musical moments of 20th-century television.
White Christmas
The song remains the best-selling single of all time. According to Guinness World Records, Crosby's recording of "White Christmas" has "sold over 100 million copies around the world, with at least 50 million sales as singles."
I wish it was OK listen to Christmas music all year round!
I guess if it was then this station wouldn't just be broadcasting during December:
