row_33 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 and as the years have piled on and Macca has spoken more eloquently and emotionally on John's death, and realizing his time in a Japanese prison would have weighed on him, and probably other "unsocial" means of coping with stresses at that time, and he collaborated with John to produce (to me) the greatest catalogue in pop/rock history... gave us a few gems himself in that bunch.... nah... it's still the worst hack of a song... (from the first verse I always assumed it was a cheap make-out song)

Mark Vader Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 The newer stuff are all a bunch of love songs in disguise. Just by saying the word "Christmas" does not make it a Christmas song.

"Please Come Home For Christmas" - I prefer the Eagles version, but I also really like Bon Jovi's rendition. You need to atone for bringing that name on this board. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" - Mariah Carey - always one of my favorite Christmas tunes. This is a very catchy guilty pleasure. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" - Easily one of faves. I find this song to be boring. Also condescending....."So this is Christmas, and what have you done?" What have I done? None of your damn business!!! 1
Uncle Joe Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I have to listen to this one every year. I caught the ending of the movie The Green Book the other night and this song was playing in the background. Edited December 20, 2019 by Uncle Joe
T&C Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 This is an older classic... and it screams Christmas. 1
The Dean Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 One of my favorite Gospel Christmas songs/version. And something newer, and possibly more relevant to those with dysfunctional families. 1
US Egg Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) How this song wasn't included in "Jersey Boys" is a head scratcher: Edited December 21, 2019 by I am the egg man
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 On 12/16/2019 at 3:19 PM, Nextmanup said: Answer ? Neither. Can't stand traditional schlocky Christmas music sung by Perry Como and the like. "I'm dreaming of a white christmas" or "home for the holidays" and all that stuff. I much prefer classical, traditional Christmas music. Bach's Weihnachtsoratorium is a great place to start for those who want to broaden their horizons. Let me recommend Pandora's "Stille Nacht" station then...always good for what speaks to the soul this time of year.

Here's a "modern" Christmas tune I'd completely forgotten about: 1

White Christmas by The Stiff Little Fingers By the way, to any who like Father Christmas by the Kinks, it is a song deriding Christmas presents and a protest against poverty, unions, corporations, etc. ! I love Joey Ramone's version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
