| | | | Best Christmas Tune
I know this pertains to music, but it's such a subjective opinion and seasonally-based issue that I thought it would still fit in off-topic.
After reading the great responses in the "Best Christmas Flick" thread, I was curious which musical Christmas classics TB members enjoyed the most. There are too many to include in a poll, so feel free to list anything you want and share with us why you love it so. |

I mean, c'mon...it's Charlie Brown! |

2:05 to me is the best written piece of music. Ever. The harmony there is out of this world. |

"Father Christmas" (I think that's what it's called) by the Kinks. I'm pretty much sick to death of traditional Xmas music.

|  | Registered User | | | | | You can easily "quote" "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and other Xmas hymns in other songs ("we used to drop that one into the end of "Lady Madonna," for instance). It's a good way to add holiday flavor to a set. But le add a vote for "Merry Christmas, baby," by Johnny Moore (with blues great Charles Brown) and covered by everyone from Elvis to Otis Redding to Springsteen. It's a true modern classic.
