The Ramones I don't want to fight with you

This morning I heard for the first time in this year Last Christmas from Wham. I take my radio and I kick it out of the window and i hope the wind blows and I´ll never get it back.

No, that's the point! I respond to "Drummer Boy" with "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner".

Twisted Sister has one, though, where they do the classics to the melodies of their own and other metal anthems. And they kept their classic video scheme:

Against the Grain by City and Colour

You need not to climb mountaintops
You need not to cross the sea
You need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak.

You need not to reach for the stars,
when life becomes so dark
and when the wind
does blow against the grain
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

when all your friends
have come and gone
the sun no longer shines
the happiness for which you long
is washed away, like an oceans tide
when all the hard times, outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood

when the day seems lost from the stars
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

If you feel, you paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life,
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake, to find you're abandoned.
and the road you travel, leads to a dead end

when death creeps in, to play it's part.
you must you follow your heart
you must follow your heart

Death metal doesn't mean a lack of christmas spirit. Here's a Slayer christmas light presentation.

Skalloween / Skamania / El Pussycat

... and possibly the definitive version of that last. Listening to the 1996 Skatalites album Greetings from Skamania for the first time in forever, and I forgot how good it is.

Right Now / Have a Good Time / Phoenix City

1993's Skavoovee was a lovely "we're back!", and 1994's Hi-Bop Ska was great & full of big guests, but this album is where the "new" band really hit it's stride. A mix of new & classic songs, Dorren Shaeffer on vocals on a few (she remains in the band to this day), longer arrangements closer to their live sets - lots of solos strung through, showing the band's near-perfect mix of virtuosity, groove, and sense of humour.

Trip to Mars / Triangle / Wood & Water / I Wish You Love / S'Kool

What a great album. If you're interested in the Skatalites, but want more than the 2 minute songs on their classic era releases, you could do much worse than get yourself a copy of this album - the last to feature the powerhouse duo of Tommy McCook & Roland Alphonso on tenor sax. Heart trouble meant McCook would be absent for their brilliant 1997 live album with Ernest Ranglin on Guitar (Ball of Fire), and both he & Alphonso passed away in 1998. Far from a last gasp, this album is one of many triumphant returns from a band that refuses to stop getting better.

"i still believe" - frank turner

lucky enough to be introduced to them during the social d gig

i still believe that everyone can find a song for everytime they've lost and everytime they've won. so just remember folks: we're not just saving lives, we're saving souls and having fun...

Frank's fantastic. He told my lad off for knowing the words to all his songs. Said he needed to get a life.

I marked the sad anniversary of John Lennon's death by listening to a heap of his solo and Beatle songs. From the thrilling vocal bridge of "This Boy" to the unintended black irony of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" to the pared-down "Working Class Hero"... it seems almost absurd to say it, but I had sort of forgotten how important his body of work is to me.
