This morning, a listener sent us the following text:

Iano, why is it that all the good Christmas songs were written in the 1970s or before? How has no-one managed to write a classic festive tune since? Baz

Baz? Pay attention down the back. What about Fairytale Of New York? – voted the greatest Christmas song only a few years ago.

And it got us thinking about great Christmas Songs that have emerged since 1980 and have hung around ever since.

Songs like:

Wham! – Last Christmas:

Shakin Stevens – Merry Christmas Everyone:

Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas:

Peter Auty - Walking In The Air:

There’s just 5 off the top of our heads. Any more?
