I'm looking to make a compilation of X-mass or holiday songs that are appropriate for this time of the year as background/atmosphere music. I've been to a mall yesterday and they played such music on the internal radio, so that picked my interest. So I'm basicly looking for a list of songs that will be good to play at home at leisure time. Feel free to fire away, people.
I don't really have anything in terms of your more traditional songs, but I'll recommend this, in particular, the track "Flutter". Not explicit "leisurely Christmas" music, but more like "classy Christmas party" music.
<cracks knuckles, looks through 532 'holiday' songs on iPod> Elvis Presley: Blue Christmas Otis Redding: White Christmas Nat King Cole: The Christmas Song. Hootie and the Blowfish did an acceptable cover as well. Frank Sinatra and Cindy Lauper: Santa Claus is Coming to Town Bing Crosby: Silver Bells Eartha Kitt: Santa Baby Emmylou Harris: Christmas Time's A Comin' Les Brown and His Band of Renown: Nutcracker Suite The O.C. Supertones: Heaven's Got a Baby Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band: Little Drummer Boy Rob Thomas: A New York Christmas Silent Night, Holy Night: lots of versions, but Reba McIntire does it well. Tracy Chapman: O Holy Night
Christmas in Killarney - Bing Crosby Feliz Navidaz Anything Christmasy by the Barenaked Ladies Aaaand... this ReMix: Super Mario World 'Super Mario's Sleigh Ride' - OverClocked ReMix
The perfect Christmas album for background music: Amazon.com: A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Original Sound Track Recording Of The CBS Television Special: Vince Guaraldi Trio: Music Or if you want to light up the party a bit, try some Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
I love that song! I hate Christmas but I love Christmas songs. I'd been looking for a really good Christmas compilation album of Blighty Crimbo classics for ages. Still not got that perfect one yet but Now That's What I Call Christmas comes pretty close. Although I think that's just a UK release. Then I just grabbed one of those multi-disc releases with a certain type of Christmas song/music selection on each disc. Useful for if I'm in a Christmas Crooners, Classical, Kids, Party or Carol mood. Failing that there's always the Chas and Dave Cockney Christmas album.
"Where are you Christmas?" by Faith Hill I think? form the Grinch movie. I loved that movie XD excellent song too. I don't really know any others besides the one that Nsync made a really long time ago with Gary Coleman in the video. That got me into Nsync in '97 or '98 when it was. Being a teeny bopper ;_; the good old days.
