I actually really love Christmas songs, despite how much they play during the season.

I've grown fond of this one. I'm not super religious but I can't help but feel something magical about it. Not the usual thing you think with Christmas buuut.

 

 

Oh and I like Let It Snow a lot too

Not too fond of Christmas tunes due to the overindulgence and overall bland nature of a lot of them, but there are a few that ultimately stand out.

 

Christmas Eve/Sarjevo 12/24 (aka the metal Carol of the Bells) by Trans Siberian Orchestra is the one that commonly plays on the radio (Though a lot less recently) that I can enjoy. Blazing guitars on top of a beautiful melody and well arranged and somewhat eerie bells and violins? YES PLEASE

 

Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You by Billy Squier is a really solid groove on top of a great way to spread Christmas cheer. I feel guilty for this one, but somehow Billy convinced me to gather round the fire for this one.

 

Christmas in Hollis by Run-DMC is sort of a given considering my area. I love the humor in it, I love the overall sample of common tune, and you can't help but enjoy it.

 

The Muppet's rendition of Little Saint Nick, and the Muppet's Christmas album with John Denver in general, is such a fun and enjoyable tune. The Beach Boys version I can't help but feel shacked by the season, but whether it's hearing Dr Teeth go on about Santa wearing goggles or Animal screaming the "Run, run, reindeer" like it's Steven Tyler, you can't help but have a little bit of fun with the camp and enjoy it all. It's everything the Muppets stand for really, solid camp in the name of enjoyable pop culture.

 

Probably the last and probably my most guilty for how popular it is would be Bruce Springsteen's version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. It helps that this was recorded live, as that's where Bruce as a whole shines, and man does it go. So many wow moments, and Clarence's sax solo is on the money here! Golden recordings like this show the power of live shows and how it can really make a simple jive session sound that much better.
