Get A Charlie Brown Christmas. Really good, I love it.

In songs, Weird Al Yankovic "Chritsmas at ground zero" and The Kinks' "Father Christmas" should add a little humour to the holidays.

The "Now That's What I Call Christmas!" album is pretty good, I think. It covers a lot of the classics, and some newer stuff, and I also has "Happy XMas (War Is Over)" and "Wonderful Christmas Time." Those two songs right there are a must for a good Christmas playlist.

Another surprisingly good Christmas album is "Noel" by Joan Baez from 1966.

Which is the best of the three, to you? They're one I've waiting for to get mentioned.

Firstly, I suspect that this is not the first topic of this kind to be created on this forum. So, if Jeff, who's status as a "Regular" and not as "Board Staff" baffles me, would please find an earlier version, I'd merge the two.

This topic should be about pop ("pop" as compared to classical music) artists and their Christmastime/holiday songs or albums.

  • I'd like to make a Christmas mix-CD for all of my family members to play. But I don't know what songs to have on it. So far I've got "Step Into Christmas" from Elton John, "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney, and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon.
  • I've heard that Bright Eyes have a Christmas album, but I don't know if it's worth checking out.
  • My band, Hilltop, have written and recorded (poorly, perhaps in both aspects) a seasonal type song. I've posted it before, but to little or no feedback, so I'll post it here again: MySpace.com/HilltopSounds (it's the only song on there)
Commence.

Bright Eyes' Christmas album is a good listen.

And the best Christmas song ever is "Spending Christmas on Crack" by Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits.

Be sure and tell her...
I know that Jethro Tull have a Christmas album, and even though Jethro Tull have been one of my mom's favorite bands since the 1970s, we don't own it. But it's there!


I am not a fan of Christmas music. I think that Paul should be charged with crimes against humanity for "Wonderful Christmastime".


I still need to see the Flaming Lips film "Christmas on Mars", is that out yet? I don't remember. I'm so behind on my Flips news.

i swear to god that hanson's "snowed in" from like 1997 or 1998 is the coolest christmas album ever. there's a good phil spector one, too. i don't have the bright eyes album, but i've heard some of the songs and they sound good.

I'd like to listen to an old Christmas album. Like Frank Sinatra or Elvis or Johnny Mathis. The guys who had great voices, y'know?
