Favourite Christmas Song?

Recommended Posts

I have two favourites. "The Little Drummer Boy" with Bing & Bowie and "So This is Christmas" by the late great John Lennon.

 

Both songs touch me in different ways. As a side note, I am not ashamed to admit that the majority of songs on my iPod are Christmas songs.

 

 

 

I'm someone who doesn't really like the song itself, but I REALLY love the Bing an d Bowie mashup of LDB and Peace on Earth for some reason.

 

Here is another newer group version, for those who do like LDB.

Chris Rea's "Driving Home For Christmas" is a great song to listen to as you're travelling home.

The Pogues- Fairytale Of New York.

 

I've always loved the grittiness of this one. And I was going to choose it as my favourite, too... but then I heard this.

 

 

Eric Idle: still got it.

I have 2 that come to mind. I have an old vinyl collection from the 80s compiled by the Book of the Month club. While this is probably the greatest collection of Christmas music I have ever heard, my favourites are John Fahey playing Carol of the Bells and a very simple and very powerful recording of Odetta singing Go Tell It On the Mountain.
