BiC Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 My favorite Christmas song is in fact, "The Christmas Song"! You know how it goes... "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..." Peace "Treat your wife with honor, respect, and understanding as you live together so that you can pray effectively as husband and wife." 1 Peter 3:7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolead Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I like "Christmas Eve in Sarajevo 12/24" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, bt I also like their rendition of "O Holy Night". I also have to give props to "Redneck 12 Days of Christmas" by Jeff Foxworthy. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Zeger Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I like: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" "The Christmas Song" Donny Hathaway "This Christmas" Joni Mitchell "River" (not really a Christmas song, but it always sounds better this time of year than any other) "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" (again, not Christmas, just a great Frank Loesser seasonal standard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc_Lafrance Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 The Night Santa Went Crazy - Weird Al Also Fairytale of New York City (I think that's what it's called) is pretty cool. I only know the no use for a name version of it but I like it. I don't know if it's exactly a christmas song but I like it.

skipclone 1 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I can`t remember the title or all the words, but I like that one that goes said the someone someone to the someone else do you hear what I hear? the rest of the verses are on that same theme Also, the Carpenters` `An old Fashioned Christmas`-sue me but Karen`s singing on that one totally kicks. Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Said the night wind to the little lamb Do you hear what I hear? Yeah, that's a good one, in the traditional vein. Traditional Carols tend to be my favorite, stuff that lends itself to choral interpretation. In that vein, one of my favorite is "The Coventry Carol" which is really quite tragic in subject matter. It would make a great classical guitar interpretation...and I'm sure it's been done. I like the jolly type of old English "Wassail" type Carol, "The Holly and the Ivy", etc. As far as most more modern stuff goes...how many versions of "Winter Wonderland" do we need? But, I like a lot of it nonetheless. And, as far as keyboard stuff goes, I still love the Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown" stuff... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat0124 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 To me if you ain't got Elvis and Bing at Christmas you ain't sheeeeeit! However, I'm really diggin the hammered dulcimer Christmas CD my kids gave me. For some reason if I hear a freaking horn playing, I don't like it. Call it horn prejudice if you will! Remember the line....."we don't give a damn, bout no trumpet playing band....it ain't what we call rock n roll".

loubeck Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Originally posted by djwayne: "Christmas Is The Time To Say I love You"-Queen (?)Actually, it's Billy Squier. And if you like that tune, you should check out Billy Squier's "Don't Say No" album. It's one of my "desert island" disks. I don't think there's a single weak song on that album.
