Name your three favourite songs by... [Christmas songs]

[Tony Baloney]

OK, are  we ready for a new one?

The Jam is up next........

No surely not. This can only go the same way as the meatloaf thread. A few people at the start will attempt to show off their musical knowledge, before reality dawns that they've only 5-6 songs that any semi-normal human being can recollect, and only 3-4 of those being good.

The Running Order is on Page 1. But in this instance it will be the 3 already called by weareros with That's Entertainment interchanged.

Don't be throwing  a wobbler now, wobbler 

It's all about tastes,  innit?.  Sure some eejits  recommended Pink Floyd and  Metallica, and I had to sit those  ones out as I hadn't a  baldy notion of any  of their songs. 

Sure recommend a  couple of  your own to see if they pass  muster with these eejits, I mean, punters

Didn't see your previous post on Meatloaf however on the Jam they had 18 consecutive top 40 UK singles including 4 UK number 1s.

Ask 10 random people to name 10 Jam songs and you'll have 9 people reaching for Google by song 5.

f**k, I was going to mention one of their songs in the one hit wonder selection...

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

Looking at the first 5 bands on the list, I'd say that also applies to The Pogues, REM, U2 and the Rolling Stones.
As well as most of the others on the list.

You could just name your top 3 songs by The Jam and move on. Or, alternatively, not bother.

Though Austin Powers does play God on this himself so he does deserve some back. Enya and INXS for crying out loud.

I don't see where you're going in that first paragraph. Stones and U2 are among the top 20 best selling musical acts of all time, and have extraordinary longevity. Their music is everywhere in pop culture. The Jam were a cool band for a few years in the late 70s, who regained popularity for a year or two in the 1990s when Weller did his unplugged album.


We are probably running out of "big hitters" to be fair at this point. Some that might be considered (if not done already): Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, Frank Sinatra, Ed Sheeran, Phil Collins, Adele, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Paul Simon (inc Garfunkel), Robbie Williams / Take That, Stevie Wonder. Basic criteria for me is a) a catalogue of greatest hits that everyone knows, and b) a back catalogue of album tracks for the music lovers to show off a little.

I didn't select those 

But I only give the  people what they want 

Let's face it , you're not  going to please everyone .  People  grew up in different decades, and  were influenced by different  styles.

 I'll be honest, I am not overly  familiar with The Jam ,  but I have a top three (just) , so I'll put those up , wait a few days , and we'll move on  to the next....
