Well, at my household we've already fired up the Christmas music and put up the tree. So I thought I'd ask you guys which holiday songs are your favorites.

 

Traditional:

Adeste Fideles / O Come All Ye Faithful

O Holy Night

Carol of the Bells

What Child is This?

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Joy to the World

Hallelujah chorus from "The Messiah"

 

Contemporary:

This Christmas - Donnie Hathaway

Christmas in Dixie - Alabama

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Andy Williams

Silver Bells

Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney

i've always had a soft spot for "o holy night."

 

"carol of the bells" is great, but ONLY in instrumental form, without those dumbass lyrics on top of it.

"Fairytale of New York"--The Pogues

Damn, you, Inc! I was gonna say that the second I saw this thread!

Goddamn you both. Third is the one with the treasure chest or something, so there.

 

I'll take Eazy-E's "Merry Motherfuckin' Christmas" in a very close second. And I'm entirely serious about that, too.

So you were the other person to buy 5150?

 

I hate Christmas, so my two favorite songs are Cartman's "O' Holy Night" and "Here Comes Fatty Claus," which is sung by this redneck band...

I was always told third is the one with the hairy chest, but whatever.

 

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? (shoot me.)

John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

A better South Park Christmas song is Mr. Garrison's "Merry Fucking Christmas". Download it now.

 

Also a classic: "All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth"

"High Gear" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, with "Santa's Beard" by They Might Be Giants in a close second.

Saint Etienne - I Was Born On Christmas Day

Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry

The Ramones - Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight tonight)

Fountains Of Wayne - Man In The Santa Suit

Fountains Of Wayne - I Want An Alien For Christmas

The Heavy Blinkers - Chaplin's Christmas

 

Saint Etienne & Jona Lewie should be on every good Xmas comp along with your Lennon, Pogues and Slade. I'd also recommend Low's christmas album from a few years back.

Is "Carol of the Bells" by Trans Siberian orchestra the kind of death metal sounding anthem? I remember this one playing in my theatre all the time between shows and I never got any work done because I was too busy rocking out to it the whole time.

 

Yeah, whatever it's called, it rocks.

Wham!: Last Christmas.

My favourite christmas song and one of the most singable songs ever.

 

BandAid: Do They Know It's Christmas?

For years I thought that the lyric in the chorus was "Jesus, Whoa". I'm an idiot. So what?

 

John Lennon: Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

No explanation nessicary.

 

By the way for any true fans of Christmas songs, the PopIdol show on ITV on Saturday night was fucking AWESOME! Chris was robbed says I after his masterful performance of 'Winter Wonderland'.
