Xmas is coming
With the season fast approaching what does everyone listen to during the holiday season? I have a few cd's made up of Xmas tunes done by popular artists. Stuff like Bon Jovi, Springsteen, Bowie, Lennon,U2, Bing, Elvis, Queen, Sinatra...... bit of everything. Thinking of doing another this year. Any suggestions?

I'm looking forward to the new Trans-Siberian Orchestra disc this year. I might also get the "New" version of Setzer's disc with bonus tracks. The regular one is a great album.

Dandy Warhols - Little Drummer Boy
Coil - Christmas Is Now Drawing Near
Trans-Siberian Orchestra stuff
I'm a sucker for bombastic versions of Carol of the Bells. Minus the lyrics.

Every year I compile a CD as sort of a Christmas card for family and friends. I just got a metric ton of Christmas CDs from the library including...the California Raisins.

The various Peanut's X-Mas special soundtracks. "Linus & Lucy" is Christmas to me. Actually I listen to these year round, they just are extra special towards the end of November.

My favourite christmas song is probably 'Someday at Christmas' - The Jackson 5. I think Stevie Wonder did it originally but I've never heard his version.
Mel Torme also did a pretty good christmas album ('Christmas Songs') and Natalie Cole did an awesome jazz version of Carol of the Bells. The home alone version of that song is cool too.

[Halloween sidetrack:]
For those that like TSO (big fan here, especially the live show), check out "Van Helsing's Curse" album. It has Dee Snider on some of the vocals with many members/influence of TSO in the band.
It's a concept album much like the TSO albums, with a Halloween theme, good stuff

I've always been a fan of the classic Motown Christmas album. Some great Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder songs. I also like the Luther Vandross album with original Christmas songs. Oh yeah, the new Chris Isaak Christmas disc is very good as well.

I think that you'll find the Mistletunes website really helpful.
Who is this?
This album's great:
("Trim Your Tree" is a great song)
I just input the songs that I've used for my Christmas CDs over the past five years into a spreadsheet, to avoid future duplication. Can't believe I didn't do that sooner.
