Favorite Christmas Songs

[Jared Houseman]

We're getting close to that time a year, so what are your favorite Christmas (or other holiday) songs?

I personally can't stand most popular Christmas songs, the pop kind or the classic kind. For this reason I'm making my own playlist this year and I'm eager to hear other's recommendations. So far I have:

Christmas in LA - Vulfpeck
Spirit of Christmas - Dailey and Vincent

 

[SunnBass]

This is my favorite of all time.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been working on my “Alternative” Christmas playlist. Some of my highlights below, all gateways to good albums:

Many excellent versions out there.

Just today, I worked out-

"Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella"

(Jeannie likes that one too...)

 

[Tom Gallo]

I pretty much only like the old classics. Bing Crosby, etc.

There's no lights on the Christmas tree mother, They're burning big Louie tonight.
The Sensational Alex Harvey band

 

[Michedelic]

As posted above, the pogues are great.

I like metal versions a lot.



All their other Christmas songs are very entertaining, particularly Carol of the bells.
