10 Christmas Songs That Are Actually Good
10. Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
Classic school-party Christmas song from 1973, the glittery snow-yetay (I had to) that is Roy Wood sings about every child's dream and every parent's worst nightmare. The former frontman of ELO and The Move, Wood's short-lived yet highly influential foray into glam rock resulted in this Christmas classic which has the perfect shout-as-loud-as-you-can chorus, often complimenting one too many Christmas sherries.
Formed from half an idea on a scrap piece of paper, Wood wrote the song as a response to the lack of rock and roll Christmas songs and recorded it in the very festive month of August. Wood then decided to turn up the cooling fans in the studio and add a Christmas tree to the mix. The song is a hit and earned them a spot on Top of the Pops, an appearance that gave the song a legendary status.
The festive love has not dissipated on the track as it has charted every year since 2007.
