Christmas music

[Clint]

That time of year looms again for the lucky ones!
As ever it seems to be getting earlier! Retail driving it to squeeze every penny out of the punters to keep afloat in many cases.
Anyway...love it or loathe it,there's the accompanying music...
My favourites...
Whitney Houston,Do you hear what I hear. If you've not listened to this you need to! Whitneys voice and range is just incredible!
Elvis and Martina McBride,Blue Christmas. Pure class!
Shaky,Merry Christmas Everyone. Super stuff from the Welsh rocker! Delayed it's release by a year because he knew it would compete for the No1 spot against Whams Last Christmas.
What's your festive favourites?

 

[Chippy_Tea]

There are lots i could list but i will go for one many members may not know as my favourite.

 

[The Baron]

I have many too and as with most music it changes with time but just a couple.
Wham last Christmas
Pentatonix Carol of the Bells
The Pogues Fairytale of New York

 

[Bitter_Dave]

There are excellent Christmas albums by Bob Dylan, James Brown and Sufjan Stevens.. but I will resist the urge to listen to any of them until Christmas!

 

[An Ankoù]

I recommend FUThA by Heilung. Proper Midwinter's Fest music and the whole family can sing along.

I tend to go on holiday at Christmas and leave those that enjoy it to celebrate without having to hear me whinging about it.

I do have a favourite Christmas song though. Hayes Carll - Grateful for Christmas.

It could bring a tear to a glass eye.

 

[The Cat]

Sort of became a Christmas song by accident but it's great.

 

[Druss]

Can't beat a bit of wizzard!

 

[Rwilts]

Has to be this.

 

[Alastair70]

My favourite by a country mile.



AC/DC Mistress For Christmas gets an honourable mention.

 

[soupdragon]

My year round ring tone is Perry Como It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas. The one Asda used a few years ago around Xmas



Cheers Tom

Wow

Well I'm liking this thread. Some great picks. I'm a trombone player - jazz and brass bander, so I start rehearsing all my Christmas music in October/November. That's all part of being a musician though.
I adore anything jazzy at Christmas. But for me, my favourite Christmas song will always be Brenda Lee's Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.

 

[WillFrites]

Stop the Cavalry
Fairytale of New York
O Come All Ye Faithful
