I love Christmas music, but mostly prefer oldie's versions like Nat, Frank, Perry, Bing, etc.. A friend gave me this album for Christmas a couple of years ago, and the whole thing is outstanding. Big recommend if you like the title track.

This is a great album and I listened to it today. “twinkle Little Christmas Lights” is not on this album but another great song by JD.

I’m also a big fan of Casting Crowns version of I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.

 

[Dawgtruc]

And the late, great Tom Petty.

Even though Springsteen has gone off the deep end it's not Christmas without

Santa Claus is Coming to Town



And

Merry Christmas Baby

What happened to Springsteen?

 

[She Mate Me]

May I present Billy Squire

Dude is way underrated.

It ain't a Christmas song, but this is one of the better guitar intros in Rock...

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

 

[Herbert Nenninger]

Dominic the donkey and it’s not even close

U beat me to it.

but some others…

Lindsey Stirling. “Carol of the bells” and “ dance of the sugar plum fairy”

For king and country “little drummer boy”

Pentatonix. “ hallelujah” and already mentioned “ Mary did you know”

Mercy Me “oh holy ni

Nat king Cole. “The Christmas song”

Bob Dylan. “Must be Santa”

What happened to Springsteen?

Politics first of all.

I watched his Broadway show on Netflix a few years back and about the first thing he says, and I am paraphrasing, that people ask him how he wrote all those songs about the plight of working men and factories etc. He pauses and then says "I made it up! I never worked a day in my life." I go okay a real honest answer. Then he goes back into that "blue collar " mindset and he is so far removed from being blue collar. Just found it to be kinda hypocritical.

Also some things he did to the E Street band. He gets inducted into the R&R HOF in 1990 as a solo artist. The E Street band finally goes in in 2014. Probably should have been the other way around. I know he does all the writing etc, but I felt he did them a little dirty and should have spoke up for them way earlier.

The Drifters - White Christmas is another one I have to play each year.

 

[Dawgpile]

I got one more.... One of the best "rock" Christmas songs out there.

My favorite Christmas album is Behold The Lamb of God by Andrew Peterson. I listen to it a couple of times through every Christmas season. Lovely retelling of the Christmas story.

[She Mate Me]

Absolutely, an all-time classic.

Giving the devil his due..

Lot of good stuff in this thread. Some new to me that I'll have to check out later, but I can't believe it's gone 2 pages without this:



ETA: It's a 20 year old song at this point. Mind blown.

 

[Mr. Cook]

Glfr I need to stop agreeing with you

I need to stop agreeing with BOTH of you ********

[HomeBoyDawg]

Never had seen/heard that rendition of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." Outstanding--thanks for posting!

 

[Darryl Steight]

Lotta good stuff here but at your boy Dorn's house, when it comes to Christmas music there's Bing Crosby and then everybody else.

Good one. The Bing and Andrew Sisters version of Jingle Bells is my kids favorite Christmas song every year.

 

[mcdawg22]

You know how you listen to songs but really don’t pay attention to lyrics until later in life? I heard the lyric “some pumpkin pie” as “some 17’ing pie”. I thought Brenda Lee ain’t playing around.

 

[Darryl Steight]

Plus it's featured in the greatest Christmas movie, so there's that.

 

[curseddawgs]

As far as recent Christmas music goes, Ariana Grande has some good stuff

 

[bolddogge]

For non-traditional, this one rocks!

 

[bolddogge]

For a traditional Christmas song it's this one. Dude has a gift and gives it all he has for sure.

 

[Darryl Steight]

One of my favorites.

Interesting. I had no idea.

What’s some of the Packs favorite songs or versions of Christmas songs.

I am in the process of making up a false but believable claim that copyrights have been infringed on several Christmas songs, and they will receive a cease and desist as I keep this case in courts for 50 years and in appeals

1) All I Want for Christmas - Mariah Carey
2) Last Christmas - George Michaels
3) Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney

*ahem*....it's called "selling out"

As for the ESB, read his autobiography. There is no "I" in team, but in Bruce's world, there is an "M" and an "E"

I never appreciated this song as a kid, and it is prominently featured in Home Alone so I thought I would have. Now that I am full grown Devil I tend to appreciate things I never really understood. This song sums up Christmas for me in every possible way.
