No, not at all. Queen? is that a joke? Granted its a great christmas song but its no where in the stratosphere of their great songs.

I also disagree with:
Wham
McCartney
Britney
and Kylie

I want to disagree about Bing, but White Christmas might be the best xmas song of all time so its hard to compete.

and get outta here with lennon and elton.

I love the Pogues but if someone said Fairytale of New York was their best, i probably wouldnt argue.

Surely, The Waitresses' Christmas Wrapping. Saying that, I've never heard anything else they've done.

And Pretenders' 2000 Miles is arguably one of their best songs.

You've not heard 'I Know What Boys Like?' Well worth a listen...

Back to topic - although not their 'best' song per se, certainly my favourite track by Shonen Knife would have to be a contender...

Not even close to the best Pogues song. Not when 'The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn', 'Streams of Whiskey', 'Body of an American', 'Sally MacLennane', 'A Pair of Brown Eyes', 'The Old Main Drag', and others exist. That said, it's still a great song.
