I'm sorting together my Christmas Playlist now, so that I don't have to do anything with it later. I need recommendations and basically 'pointers' to anything I may have missed out that I probably should have on this here list-a-ma-thingy for the festive season:

I know I'm currently short of a 'Winter Wonderland'... I was toying with 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' too... (there's a really dudey, funked-up remix of the latter on iTunes)... It's awesome.

Anyway, feel free to contribute. You can suggest alternate versions of songs too, that's fine. Cheers for the help.

Ohh that is good but of course you need "All I want for christmas is you"-Mariah Carey *insert one of sketches smiley faces here with sly smile and sun glasses*



~*wOOt!*

Jimmy Eat World did a cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas." I also recommend "Christmas With You Is The Best" by the Long Winters and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love.

Embrace did a cover of "I believe in Father Christmas".

EMBRACE DID A COVER OF "I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS".

"And so tomorrow there will be another number for the one who had a name."

Anymore for any more? Surely...

Anberlin have done a cover of "Baby Please Come Home."

You could also have "She Came Home For Christmas" by Mew and "The Only Gift That I Need" by Dashboard Confessional.

I hadn't thought of that Mew tune. Cheers. I'll give it a whirl on their site, I'm pretty sure it's listed.

The slow acoustic Oasis/Noel Gallagher cover of Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody is awesome - The y used it in The Royal Family Xmas Special.

CHOOON!!!

Don't get rid of Slade, throw this in as well & put em at different ends of the playlist - sored.

How could I forget "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)" by the Ramones?

You are missing a CLASSIC


Christmas Wrapping- The Waitresses.

matchbox twenty - merry new york christmas



*~katie~*

trans-siberian orchestra - carol of the bells

no shitting you, this is possibly the coolest version of this you'll ever hear. it's not dorky orchestra, it sounds like metallica helps them out or something. very cool. all other stuff by them is good too but this is by far the best



Rock on...
Kevin

I wanna be with you forever, and tomorrows not too late...

"Beware the fury of a patient man" ~John Dryden

It' still OCTOBER, I have never heard the Paul McCartney/Beatles - Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time or matchbox 20 - new york christmas can you listen to these online any were?

Last year in the live lounge on bbc radio 1 s snow patrol did a cover of 'Just Like Christmas' by Low

First sentence. First post.

I had completely forgotten about that Darkness song. Thanks G-Man.

Joni Mitchell - River. Well it's a little bit christmassy )



~ Sofi ~

"And so tomorrow there will be another number for the one who had a name."

Also, despite lacking in any mention of Christmas at all, Counting Crows' Long December always reminds me of Christmas. Plus it's just a damn pretty tune. Sorry; I digress.



~ Sofi ~

"And so tomorrow there will be another number for the one who had a name."

I just remembered two more great songs: "Weird Al's" "The Night Santa Went Crazy" and "Christmas At Ground Zero."

I love "Weird Al."

The Kinks - Father Christmas



~ Sofi ~

"And so tomorrow there will be another number for the one who had a name."

grandma got run over by a reindeer



*~katie~*

Audioslave- Dandelions



~*wOOt!*

Snoopy's christmas by the Royal Guardsmen -- used to listen to it on the way home from grandma's --

Isn't it funny how at christmas even the hokiest song can make you cry?

I've asked KT Tunstall to cover 'Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree' for the festive season 2005 after hearing her perform live on 'Later...'

It would be awesome. Vote here to show your support. I've also PM'd the lady herself so fingers crossed it could happen.

Maybe.

I was just looking over this list and realized that no one mentioned John Lennon's "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)."

(Of course, I was reminded of it because I just heared a cover by Maroon 5)

how about Eagles - Please Come Home For Christmas



John
===============
"We'll never know 'till we try..."

How about "Get My Nutsack Out of the Blender" by A Christmas Miracle
