I always see posts with people ranking their favorite albums and songs, but don't think I've seen oen for the Christmas Singles. I'm listening to them in order this morning and there's some solid stuff in there!

My top 3 (91-07) would be:

97: Strangest Tribe / Drifting
01: Last Soldier / Indifference / Gimme Some Truth / I just wanna have something to do
02: Don't believe in christmas / Sleepless Nights

This year's will probably end up 3 or 4, but I've only listened to it once so i'm not ranking it yet.

Discuss!!

    my top 3:

    1) sonic reducer... 1992... still one of my favorite covers by them, and it's the 1st single i ever got in the mail... memories!

    2) strangest tribe... 1997.... the only single where i loved both songs equally... a pretty killer pair of tunes, i hope they do strangest tribe someday live!!

    3) x-mas time... 1991... the only one i'm missing, and it's one of my favroite songs by them... anybody got a spare? i refuse to pay the $75 going on ebay currently... i am hoping to fall into one through a mutually beneficial exchange with a fellow club member.... if anyone has a spare they want to trade, let me know!! i have a lot to offer if you have a wishlist....

    Strangest Tribe is '99 actually. My top three:

    1) 2002.. Sleepless Nights was great when the Everly Brothers did it, and it sounds spectacular with Eddie and Beck sharing vocals.

    2) 1999.. Strangest Tribe/Drifting are both such phenominal tracks, love '99.

    I'm at work, and those are the two that I can remember at the moment.
