The Greedies single is brilliant and a perfect combination of musical styles. Obviously made after Rotten left but Jones' guitar with that twin-guitar sound of Thin Lizzy is great. Phil Lynott does a great vocal too. I've got an early pressing of the single which is very collectable when the band was initially called The Greedy B*stards!

Even though this song is very popular it's still very much in the 'alternative' genre of a Christmas song, i.e. it's hardly a carol is it? And bloody Cliff is nowhere in sight thank God!!
A brilliant original single and I bet you particularly like the word "scumbag" which appears in the song
