Smith & Burrows have put together an entire album dedicated to Christmas, titled Funny Looking Angels. From that album they deliver the best Christmas song of 2011 in my opinion with 'When The Thames Froze'. Smith & Burrows consist of Tom Smith of Editors and Andy Burrows of Razorlight. They both have been friends for years and have developed their album on the idea of a Christmas theme. Check out my version of the best Christmas anthem of 2011 below with the video for 'When The Thames Froze'. http://smithandburrows.com [...]

Christmas. 3. They are not taking themselves too seriously (*Ahem* Johnny Borrell) - see picture with angel wings above. 4. It's a proper Christmas song (like Fairytale Of New York) that would sort of be acceptable [...]
