Neither. I guess if I had to choose, I'd rather listen to We Are the World.

"Do They Know It's Christmas" is the best sanctimonious song EVER. I sang that at karaoke a few weeks ago, prefacing it as, "The scariest song of all time." Aside from the obvious "there is snow in Africa" (Mt. Kiliminjaro[sp]) and most of Africa couldn't care about Christmas, we see Bono getting his start at being smug and pointing a very sharp finger with, "Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you!" (And if you listen to the long one, David Bowie does a mini-speech.)

...and all of this really rather reminds me of the Rumors-era line up of Fleetwood Mac...(topic!)

Neither. It is Coil's Tainted Love (a cover of a cover).

That Band Aid song wins. There is nothing like it. It's the first and it was just so emotionally charged. I just have a feeling people really believe what they are singing on this...even if they don't...I feel they are.

I remember when it first came on and how my dad just left it on and watched it over and over again...it just made you cry it was so good.

To this day, it's my number 1 Christmas song...I love it more than any other.

That OTHER song...even WITH Lindsey...doesn't stand a chance. LOL.
