Christmas Song Showdown : Pop vs. Rock

McCartney In Goal

We are back due to popular demand with our 2nd Christmas Song showdown. Coldplay versus The Ramones, Ariana Grande vs Bob Dylan (there's a festive fight we all want to see) —who reigns supreme in the holiday music arena, perhaps Queen? Our lively banter delves into what makes a Christmas song truly memorable, contrasting everything from Leona Lewis's pop appeal to the punk energy of the Ramones. We plug into AC/DC's notorious attempt at a stocking filler and try to decide if Pop or Rock is the best genre for Christmas music. Of course, it wouldn't be a Christmas special without touching on the eccentric genius of Bob Dylan's festive album and Elton John's timeless contributions to the Yuletide soundtrack.
We venture through the decades, from The Darkness to Christmas Lights and of course Wham!'s enduring "Last Christmas." Whether you're a rock enthusiast, a pop aficionado, or somewhere in between, there's something here for everyone as we revel in the diverse and timeless appeal of holiday tunes.
