Thank God It's Christmas or A Winter's Tale

If a I was asked which song I liked better, TGIC or AWT I'd have to say undoubtedly..."Yes".Anyways,...


Merry X-Mas,

Rocking Quanza,

Happy Xenu to you, Scientologists,

Have a glowing festival of light Hannakuians,

Ramadan you hearts out who ever Ramadans,

Pagans and tree worshipers...happy Terapocian transedentalism meditation (becomming one with nature/trees).

Cheerful Zoroastrianism day.

To all Buddists, merry contimpanting-your-navel and may you lint be plenty and flowing.

And to all Athiest...Happy Sunday.

[I think it would have been fun if Queen had put out alternate TGIC...with the other religions/etc. As B-sides on a single e.g., "Thank god it's Quanza."].

A Winter's Tale by a long shot.
In retrospect its also quite reflective on Queens career (the video).

A Winter's Tale is not on GH3. I've always wondered why since it charted higher than some of other tracks in the same album and some of them didn't really belong there (TSMGO with Elton, Rah Mix, Wyclef??). I used to defend Brian's "we want to bring Queen to a new audience" motto but Wyclef Jean's version of AOBTD doesn't belong in a Queen Greatest Hits album.

I kinda liked Five's version of We Will Rock You and Robbie's WATC but disliked Wyclef and Britney/Beyonce/Pink. Ok, bring Queen's music to a new audience but don't shove that kind of crap into other more casual fans (regarding AOBTD's inclusion in GH3).

i preffer A Winters Tale
Not only because is a better song than TGIC; it has a very strong meaning for me, very emotional

'A Winter's Tale' - no doubt. I wouldn't even compare it with 'Thank God...', which was just an average christmas single. 'A Winter's Tale' is so much more than this!

None. Both are of use only to people on the Northern Hemisphere. However, at least A Winter's Tale could be isolated from the Christmas concept.

A Winter's Tale.

Much, much, much better. Freddie at his best. Really. Emotional song.

yes, A Winter's Tale. It's such a nice thought that despite being so frail, Freddie's voice remained brilliant (it actualy improved for me.) The optimism is typical of his courage. A marvellous song with lovely lyrics too.

Songwise, A Winter's Tale wins over Thank God it's Christmas.. heck, I think it's above a lot of the Queen catalogue really.
However, I don't associate it with Christmas at all, but rather a part of life we're all going to wind up facing at some time or another. So really, to answer your question I'd actually say TGIC is better for this time of year.
Especially considering it's not winter for half of the world :P

definately AWT not saying that TGIC is bad but its better by quite a long shot

thank god it's chris-tmas winter's tale isn't so good

Even though I first heard TGIC on the CD single for AWT, I still have to say that I prefer TGIC by quite a long mile and always have done as it brings back lots of happy memories for me.

Thank God Its Christmas
