Pick a superior Christmas No. 1 from El Reg's computer crooning compilation

With December 25th bearing down upon us, we're mere days away from anointing a festive chart-topper as Christmas Number One. A hot tip for this year's top tune? It'll be sentimental and/or disposable pop junk. Reg readers deserve better, so we've cobbled together a list of ten songs that reflect the fare we serve up around …

Spotify web player is flakey

Soo...

you've imbedded 12 takes-ages-to-load-widgets...

that require a new tab/window to be open...

and memebership of a seperate site..

and doesn't seem to like it if you try to listen to more than one song...

The "They Might Be Giants" tracks aren't available in the United Kingdom. Did you even check given that its a UK Site?

Could have linked to a playlist.

Like This

Or youtube vids.

All this in the same week they killed Regina Eggbert...

Re: Spotify web player is flakey

Has anyone reported this to the Police yet?

Considering the evidence is on the interwebs I'm surprised GCHQ haven't already turned up on the door step.

Also, by definition, Regina was a minor. Won't someone think of the children?

Technologic

As for "Technologic", I like more this remix ( http://youtu.be/WRvipYTeVp0 ) with Beastie Boys' "Yeah" and Capsule's "Starry Sky" .

[Triggerfish]

You should add

Laika - Badtimes & Deltron 3030 - Virus.

Anything by Dual Core but I'm enjoying Hack All The Things immensely

Finally robotic beings rule the world!

One vote for Flight of the Conchords.

For the abuse of Reg readers by inflicting Spotify on us!

[Little Mouse]

Wot no Queen?

"Machines (or Back to Humans)".... They don't make 'em like that any more.

Thank God.

Jethro Tull's "Wicked Windows" or even the Tangent's "The Wiki Man" are far superior to this entire shortlist... Oh, also "Yours truly, 2095" by ELO...

Well, if we're going old school...

"Hombre Secreto" from the _Repo Man_ soundtrack

Cover en espanol of "Secret Agent Man" by The Plugz -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K1vJ0r0ax0

Devo did do a good cover of "Workin' in a Coal Mine", though ("Lord, I am SO tired, how long can this go on?").

Cerveza grande, por favor.

You've inexplicably missed "Piece Of Crap" - Neil Young's tribute to modern technology - off your list. Out of politeness, I shall assume it was an oversight.

[Anonymous Coward]

You've also inexplicably missed "Electricity" by Captain Beafheart and the Magic Band. Now there' s real music...

Obvious missing entry:

The Jam's "The Modern World" from 1977.

Happy Solstice, everyone! Now can we PLEASE stop all the Horrorday advertising?

[Petrea Mitchell]

Re: Obvious missing entry:

Another couple: "All About the Pentiums" and "Virus Alert" by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
