I like Bruce’s live version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. RIP Clarence Clemons.

I listen to this any time I’m feeling down and need a little pick me up. Never fails to give a laugh and make me smile

John Denver’s “Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas.”

We started up decorations yesterday,and had the XM Rockin Christmas channel on the garage system, cranked. That one was played twice, I sang along loudly, and badly both times. Did make my wife laugh.

We also heard the Village People' Christmas song, that was a first.

I just finished Rob Halfords auto biography (Judas Priest). He mentioned doing two Christmas albums, might try to dig one up.

This one is also a favorite, his version of Silver Bells is killer.

I like the Vintage Chrismas playlist on Spotify and The Charlie Brown Christmas Album.

How is Spotify on commercials? I usually use Pandora but the commercials are a little too frequent. Yeah its free but I spend my $ on baccy!

My whole family uses it with multiple playlists, so we sprung for a family account. About $12.

It's funny you mention saving your money for tobacco, because I think of money in increments of tins.

Grab some fast food for lunch every day like most of my coworkers? Hell no! That's would cost me 5 tins of tobacco! I'll bring a sandwich instead ?

I always like Elton’s Step Into Christmas song

Elvis... Blue Christmas

 

[weezell]

My favorite has always been the collaboration between Bing Crosby and David Bowie when they sang Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy in '77.

? ? ? ? ?

Ask me in the spring. Most Xmas music is boring to me short of Handel.

I used to listen to Real Radio 104.1 out of Orlando, FL and there was a 'talk' show that often featured the musical comedy of a fellow who goes by Bubba Whoopass Wilson. Here's one he wrote that I enjoy.
Santa Claus Died. live on air performance

There's just something about the classic Christmas music that's just not found in most if any modern versions. I don't necessarily think it's based purely on nostalgia- those were well before my time, and yet my kids who are 12 and 15 prefer Sinatra, Crosby, Cole etc.

One of my Favorite Christmas albums, though, is rooted purely in nostalgia: Holiday Sing-a-long with Mitch Miller
