[Moon Rabbits]

Since the General Chat thread wasn't actually about Christmas songs ...

Post your favorite holiday tunnnnnnessssss~

December Will Be Magic Again (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep2bv_ZjgDg&feature=related). Maybe I'm biased because it's Kate Bush, but damn son I love it.

[Chunk]

This one is definitely my favorite:

[Værn]

*Reposts MIDI*
It's rather difficult to find proper recordings of song written for full choirs, and thus you must settle for my lyric-less MIDI.

*Waits to see if anybody actually knows the song*

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Carol of the Bells.
Anything TSO.
Super Mario's Sleigh Ride.
Mannheim Steamroller (Who were actually close friends with my grandparents ^^)

[Balzac]

Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Also Just Like Christmas by Low, Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and the 5 CD boxset Songs for Christmas by Sufjan Stevens.

I was in FutureShop last Tuesday, and within 5 minutes of hearing that same old garbage being played over the P.A. I wanted to grab the nearest person and put them out for the count. Luckily, nobody was near me.

Although, I've found that the REASON i hate Christmas music is because it's ALWAYS the same songs sung by the same people! I think it's time the music was updated. The lyrics can stay the same, but do something with the style it's presented in. Even Beyonce Knowles trying to do that, it still sounds like garbage, because the song is the exact same, but with her singing it instead.

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about: (click to listen)
Mikseri.net Radio: Escay - Joulutunnelmaa (Remix) (http://www.mikseri.net/player/player.php?newsession=1&type=1&parameter=357589)

This one is definitely my favorite:

Carol of the Bells > All Else

[scrumpleberry]

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. No doubt.

[Polnareff]

I know I might get lynched for this, but:

A Wonderful Christmastime (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWuKimtUEas)

The only Christmas song I can actually stand. That and Feliz Navidad, since to me it sounds like that song's saying "police got my dad." :p

[JaytodaP]

The only Christmas music I like is anything by Guaraldi.

I also have a strange partaking for Opera renditions of O Holy Night and Silent Night by people like Pavarotti, Ivan Rebroff or Michael Crawford.
