Tired of schmaltzy American Christmas songs and cynical pop muzak in the shops? The perfect antidote is here. As well as singles by Saxon, Nitrate and Till Lindemann and an album track from Subway to Sally (with bonus League of Distortion), there are classic tunes from Blondie and Judas Priest, not to mention the sort of seasonal songs that should be played more widely, courtesy of Caravan, Sabaton and Greg Lake. If this show fills you with good cheer, follow me on Twitter/X @BethCharleswor5.
