Favorite Christmas Tunes

Postby Peartree12249 » Mon Dec 06, 2010 4:01 am

Tree's up and decorated, fresh snow, crackling fire I'm starting to feel the Christmas spirit. Here are a couple of my new favorite Christmas songs.

Annie Lennox "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlsJD8RlhbI

Casting Crowns "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7670CXvPX0

I have a few, but really liking the new Train song, Shake Up Christmas. Produced by Butch Walker and is an extension of his Coca Cola jingle.

Also, the whole Melissa Etheridge xmas CD is great.

Dave, that song just kills, man. It's got everything. Even though I hold my nose as a preventive measure while watching the youtube video, it's still an incredible song.

The song is OK but it's way dated-sounding. However, Christmas is not even celebrated in many countries around the world, so it doesn't even make sense.

Which is probably why the lyrics say, "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" :lol: And then, "Let them know it's Christmas time." :wink: Kind of a "spread the word" thing going on here, Dave. :)

Did they not look like a bunch of regular blokes heading out to Wal-Mart on a Saturday? So much better than that garbage Lionel Richie put together.

Wow, are Jody Watley and Kool and the Gang the only blacks in this video?. Was the UK importing minority singers back then?

USA For Africa was such a pretentious work. The lone exception probably being Michael Jackson.
