I like "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole.

Also there's this one. NSFW

sensorian · Dec 12, 2012, 11:37 AM

Fairytale of New York - The Pogues.

End of thread.

Mr. McMac · Dec 12, 2012, 11:43 AM

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses is probably my favorite "rock" Christmas song.

I just found out that Greensleeves was a woman

I wonder how it got to be associated with Christmas!

Peace · Dec 12, 2012, 01:42 PM

Definitely one of mine, too; an authentically bittersweet song - and a very welcome antidote to some of the more saccharine offerings one comes across this time of year.

It has to be Snoopy's Christmas.

iJohnHenry · Dec 12, 2012, 05:56 PM

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, by Gene Autry, on a 6" 78RPM wax record.

Might still have it around, but I somehow doubt it.

Yes. The entire soundtrack to the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Done.

Jessica Lares · Dec 12, 2012, 11:59 PM

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues, followed by Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade (and I like Noel Gallagher's version of it

), and then Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. And then Last Christmas by Wham.

So much good stuff.

RSL · Dec 13, 2012, 12:09 AM

Another great one: Ramones - Merry Christmas I don't wanna fight tonite

dXTC · Dec 13, 2012, 10:20 AM

One of my holiday faves: Weird Al's "Christmas At Ground Zero".

To ToomeyND: Take the word youtube and put it in square brackets, like this but without the spaces:
[ youtube ]
Then place the "v=" code -- the code that comes after the v= in the URL on most YouTube videos, followed by another bracketed youtube but with a slash before it.
Here's what your code would look like (imagine it without the spaces, of course):
[ youtube ] HGVNzgUxE-g [ /youtube]

And here's the result:

I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS Emerson, Lake & Palmer

dXTC · Dec 14, 2012, 11:14 AM

A couple of others I enjoy: "The 12 Pains Of Christmas" by Bob Rivers, and Mannheim Steamroller's renditions of "Deck The Halls" and "Joy To The World." Love that Prophet 5 sound.

iJohnHenry · Dec 14, 2012, 12:06 PM
