Timeless quality! Saw him with Frank & Sammy, Seattle 1988. Dean was pretty much wasted, but Frank was good and Sammy stole the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't, so I sabotaged it for her a couple of years back. Every time it'd come on, I'd sing:Last Christmas I gave you my heart And the very same day I passed away She can't listen to that song now without being horrified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) I think this one is pretty briliant...I know most people never listen to the things that are linked, but give this one a chance....give it a little over a minute to catch its stride..

Least fav is probably Santa Baby or Blue Christmas This is now my favorite song because liberals are stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have three favorite songs, all tied for #1. -Christmas Song- Nat King Cole -White Christmas- Bing -Baby Please Come Home- Darlene Love Keep the covers away, mildly militant about it. Favorite album is Charlie Brown Xmas/Vince Guaraldi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Mine have already been mentioned, but: All-time fav: Run Rudolph Run by Keef, wore out the 45 w/ Harder They Come back in the day. Traditional fav: Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire by NKC, could listen to this all day. Least fav: Wonderful #$%^ing Christmastime by Macca, gives me a bad attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I tend to like the classical music versions of Christmas music. I abhor Jingle Bell Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snafu Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I heard the dogs barking Jingle Bells today. Not my favorite, but it usually puts a smile on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halloween Land Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Little St. Nick by The Beach Boys is the best Christmas song by far and it isn't even close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Favorite classic: Chestnuts - Nat King Cole White Christmas - Bing Baby It's Cold Outside - Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald Favorite modern: Please Come Home - Eagles Happy Christmas/War Is Over - Lennon/Ono Little Drummer Boy - Bing/Bowie Something About Christmastime - Bryan Adams I need to give the least favorites some thought. Nothing is popping out to me. As much as I love McCartney, I have to admit that his song is not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Even though I don't consider myself a practicing Christian these days, I find most of the traditional Christmas hymns enjoyable. Not a big fan of "pop" Christmas songs but a few have been good, like Springsteen's Santa Claus is Comin' to Town and U2's Baby Please Come Home. Edit: oh, and I can't believe I forgot to mention Mannheim Steamroller. Love listening to their stuff during the season.

There's a verson from a few years ago of Willie Nelson and Nora Jones that's been my favorite. I also forgot to mention Run Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry. I've never really heard a cover of it, including Keith's, that I really cared much for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
