Christmas Songs

[asymm]

I made one a couple of years ago, but I think I'm going to try and put together another Christmas compilation - hearing the Pretenders - "2000 Miles" inspired me.

So - post your favorite Christmas tunes - any genre'll do.

[Kage]

I like listening to Sinatra's Christmas tunes.

[asymm]

Low has a Christmas album. I should get it, I'm sure it's good.Yeah, it is. It sounds just as you'd expect, it's wonderful.

Except Trans-Siberian Orchestra, of course.

I'm not into the Christmas music. Does anyone want to recommend a song that'll get me into the Christmas spirit or something, or what?

Eazy-E - Merry Motherfu ckin' Xmas

[Dave de Sylvia]

I got sent an indie Christmas album that has some pretty decent covers on it, but also some crap ones.

My favourite Christmas tune is Faitytale In New York, of course.

Yeah, I really like this one as well.

Other than that, I'm not huge on Christmas tunes.

Kwanzaa songs, however, tickle my fancy.

i dont like it because ive spent a good part of the last week listening to it at school for a business management project. and overplaying can ruin anything.

15 posts into an a/i thread about christmas songs and no one has mentioned a certain assclown's 5 christmas albums full of crappy redos?

Its a new age!
