Kissandra Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 'Sleigh Ride' - Arthur Fiedler & the Boston Pops 'Jingle Bell Rock' -- I'm not sure who does my favorite version. I thought it was Bobby Helms, but it isn't. 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' - Brenda Lee 'Merry Christmas, Baby' - Bruce Springsteen 'Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town' - Bruce Springsteen 'Please Come Home for Christmas' - Eagles 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' - Mariah Carey 'O Holy Night' - Mariah Carey 'Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)' - Mariah Carey 'Someday At Christmas' - Stevie Wonder 'What Christmas Means To Me' - Stevie Wonder 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' - Whitney Houston 'The Twelve Days Of Christmas' - I don't know who does a good version I guess the bolded ones would be my top 5.

LeeMcC Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I love christmas music but I prefer the Trans-Siberian Orchestra version of any christmas song if there is one. King Diamond's No Presents For Christmas is pretty fun too. And Charlotte Church's version of Oh Holy Night is one of the most moving things I've ever heard.

Kissandra Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 For some rockin` Christmas music and a good version of The 12 days, try the little known and under-rated guitar god Gary Hoey! I'm more into the older, classic versions when it comes to songs like that, but it was interesting--thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenYearsGone75 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 My all time favorite Christmas/Holiday song: "Baby It's Cold Outside" (The Bing Crosby version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kith Kannan Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Please tell me that is not an actual song yes, yes it is. And I find it quite hillarious, and the synth programming in it is badass. I mostly, just find it extremely funny. As far as most Christmas songs go I don't enjoy that many, I've heard them all too much. I like the Jethro Tull Xmas album, some BB King xmas tunes I've heard, and some of ole blue eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
