We\u2019ll be back on Monday where we announce our writers\u2019 top 10 albums of 2025 and then our final day of posting for the year on Tuesday where we reveal this year\u2019s winners from this year\u2019s readers poll. In the meantime, Paul Villers, our community forums editor, challenged anyone to come up with a Christmas song you\u2019d listen to all year round which was a fair enough point but then I remembered this little gem which on a perusal through our archives he shared himself back in 2018 (but again in December to be fair). It\u2019s a good opportunity to remind people that \u201cThe Forgotten Arm\u201d is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Take care until Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/palestinecampaign.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">don\u2019t forget Palestine<\/a> particularly this time of year and keep fighting the fascists.
