Let’s face it; most original rock and pop Christmas songs are downright terrible. The worst of the lot is Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime, a phoned-in composition that relies on bland synthesizer sounds and digital delay effects to separate it from the pack.

Never fails to astound me that I am never more than two clicks away from your site when conducting somewhat obscure Google searches. Today, Space 1999.
