Christmas songs you DO like

Post by Boray » Sun Dec 09, 2012 3:53 pm

"Betlehems stjärna" (The star of Bethlehem) is probably my very favorite Christmas song. Here performed by Frida in ABBA:

All time favorite is "O Holy Night." Lately I've been liking "Silver Bells" the Reliant K version.

O Come O Come Emmanuel is my absolute favourite, and What Child Is This is a close second. I also love 'Gabriel's Message' from Jars Of Clay's Christmas Songs.

Here is my own version of this song:
http://boray.wontek.net/shareware/1993/ ... z_Ztar.mp3

I tried to make a rock version on my Amiga computer in 1993. This is 4 channels of 8 bit sound. Try to count the instruments. Are there really just 4 of them? :-) If you liked the sound of my Petra covers, I guess you will like this as well.

I don't think so, but I really liked ABBA in the 70's.

Technically it's not a Christmas song, but it always seems to be played around this time of year :The Hallelujah Chorus. Something about it is just so moving!

"Pethead" is not a title. It's a way of life.

Specifically Lara Landon's "The Virgin Mary." But also Plumb, Peacock and Keaggy's tracks.

Not a big Country fan, but Kenny & Dolly's Christmas album is a family favourite.

The title track "Once upon a Christmas" is terrific. Wish I had the pipes to carry it off. :)
