[Jinx]

As soon as someone says Christmas Shoes, I'm out of here

O Holy Night
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Joy to the World
What Child is This

And this:

BYU Singers - In the Bleak Midwinter - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDU5DVUrJys)

We sang it my senior year of high school, and we'd all get really emotional at how beautiful it was, and then our choir director would start crying, and we'd start crying, and sing way more passionately, and it was just a wonderful emotional cycle. (The arrangement in the video is a bit different than the one we sang.)


I really like old-Christmas music :3

I CLEARLY SAID THE TOP FIVE, OBEY THE RULES OR FIND A QUIET CORNER TO GO FUCK YOURSELF IN

[Jowy]

I can't think of four others I like and wanted to contribute!

[Balzac]

5. Gary Glitter - Another Rock n' Roll Christmas

LOOOOOOOL

Anyway

in no perticular order;
1. Bing Crosby and David Bowie - Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth
2. Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
3. The Pogues - Fairytale of New York
4. Bobby 'Boris' Pickett - Monsters' Holiday
5. Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas

[Lonely Paper Star]

1) "All I Want For Christmas Is You" - Mariah Carey
2) "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - Frank Sinatra
3) "Adeste Fideles" - any version, really, but I like Celine Dion's and Josh Groban's versions
4) "Angels We Have Heard On High" - also any version. I also like playing it on the piano :3
5) "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo" - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Only 5? There so many I actually like :X

[Shorty]

I will second All I Want For Christmas Is You. Hate Mariah Carey but damn, that song gets you in the spirit. Where Are You, Christmas? is the only good thing Faith Hill has ever done. The rest of the songs are sentimental to me from my Christmas chorus concerts from elementary school.

O Holy Night
Silent Night
The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
All I want For Christmas Is You
Where Are You, Christmas?

AND YOU SHAVED THEM OFF :(

AND YOU SHAVED THEM OFF :(

I just really love traditional Christmas music. There's something really magical about being in a group of strangers, and everyone knows the lyrics to the song. Especially when it's something really uplifting and happy. Like, "Angels We Have Heard On High." Forget the religious connotations for people who are religious--they're just fun songs that bring unity!

[Lonely Paper Star]

The rest of the songs are sentimental to me from my Christmas chorus concerts from elementary school.

I still remember some of the lyrics to a lot of of my elementary school choir holiday songs! Even Silent Night in German and sign language (wha..) and some dumb Christmas "rap." ....

[Shorty]

We did a verse of Silent night in spanish! For the last verse, we'd invite the rest of the audience and past chorus members to join us and it would just be wonderful.

Christmas rap sounds fun xD

[Lonely Paper Star]

That rap (http://artists.letssingit.com/the-broadway-kids-lyrics-christmas-gift-rap-8n6bnvw) was so cheesy. Like, early 90's cheesy.

I really like old-Christmas music :3



My list is something like this too. :)


Don't really know about the last though.

[Denmark]

Firstly, I won't count this in my list since it's a medley but medley medley medli (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apZBqdR_sjU) (also go listen to everything else that guy has done especially this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0GEHJEeTsw) which gave me multiple raging hard-ons)

also I really really like Freezeezy Peak (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeMxiQoA9n4) a lot a lot a lot but I'm not sure if it counts as a "Christmas song" (banjo-kazooie music is smurfing amazing and also gives me multiple raging hard-ons)

but anyway (enough about my erections)

The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jbdgZidu8) (happy christmas your arse, i pray god it's our last)
Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOszvL9lgSs)(only this version there is no other version and if you say otherwise you are ruining Christmas for everyone)
Berlin Symphony Orchestra - Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy (Red Baron Remix) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idV47_RyqMs) (check out the albums "Christmas Remixed" and "Christmas Remixed 2" for more if you like this. use the googles, easy to find)
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Russian Dance Trepak (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ISRMSIyX8) (yeah nutcracker is on this list twice get over yourself)
I find Mariah Carey kind of attractive so that might provide some bias - All I Want For Christmas Is You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQViqx6GMY) (I fell in love again watching this video)

Band-Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas is a song that just got beaten out by Mariah Carey being smurfing adorable seriously go watch that video and let me know if you don't fall in love

tl;dr a bunch of good music and then me being as gay as a straight guy can be

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Song number 1 through 5.

Sick Puppies - Killing Myself For Christmas - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGt4lLX2mi4)

Really though, it's hard to pick. I feel like I would have to sift through a vast number of songs before I could decide.

[fire_of_avalon]

You're all very wrong. The best Christmas music is traditional Christmas music and not romantic Christmas music. And if you think otherwise then you're just bad.

Here are the best Christmas songs. The performer is just as important as the song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4uP32mnAjY I have always had a very visceral reaction to this song, it spurs some kind of dramatic emotions within me. The ideas about supplication I guess, I dunno. Anyway, Nat King Cole has a voice that sails but isn't full of ostentatious ornamentation. It's just simple and beautiful. My only wish is that it were the full song with all three verses.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV9_WcxZG14 If you don't like gospel not only do I dislike you, you also have no soul. You don't have to be religious to like gospel music - you just have to like to get told how it is every once in a while. Also this rendition has a little blues flavor. Gospel and blues are like two sides of a coin. Which means awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGVNzgUxE-g This is, without a doubt, my all time favorite Christmas carol. It's a mash-up of God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen and We Three Kings. Mostly it's my favorite because the vocals and harmony are amazingly amazing, but the songs also tell the story of hope in the birth of Jesus. I'm not religious, but the Christ story is a good one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADj-Ru3JQp0 This is probably the most modern song I chose, and this is the original recording. I like the epicness of a full chorus performing this sweet, simple song that pleas for peace.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vNcGlM8O3I I picked Carol of the Bells because 1) Rock and roll Christmas 2) A musical example of a non-Christian anachronistic piece of culture modified for use by Christians 3) Super cool history.

[Forsaken Lover]

1. Happy X-Mas(War is Over)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN4Uu0OlmTg

John Lennon was a god amongst men. He may not have believed in such a thing as god but John was truly something special. A

2. Ave Maria
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_vMEvcPDGs

It counts because it was on Tarja's and Josh Groban's Christmas albums.

3. Iron Santa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRW2poUfJ34

No qualifiers needed here.

And that's all I got right now.
