So I am making a playlist for a Christmas party I am throwing and I wanted to know what some favorites were.

I have all of the classics from Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Elvis, Jingle Bell Rock, Rockin Around the Christmas Tree, etc.

Some of the more contemporary hits that I have are Christmas All Over (Tom Petty), Baby Please Come Home (U2), Do They Know Its Christmas (Band Aid), Last Christmas (Wham!), All I Want From Christmas is You (Mariah), Fairytale of New York (the Pogues), Chanukah Song.

What are some of your favorites?

OK, that whole xmas album of Los Straitjackets is great, btw, and this is not a xmas song but something Santa's might enjoy after putting presents under the tree and kicking back...

Shhhiiiiiiittttt man.......Christmas in Hollis FTW bro! :andy:

Ha!  I've actually been hearing this in my mind all morning.

This might be a little slow for a party, but it has always been one of my favorites

Pitchfork put out their list of The 50 Best Holiday Songs of All Time last week. I don't agree with some of it (which I'll get to in a second), but it's got a bunch of solid tunes.

My favorite Christmas music is "Merry Christmas: The Supremes". All of it. Every song is great. The reason I have a problem with the Pitchfork list is that it doesn't have anything from this album on it. Which is just wrong.

I like Amy Grant's Sleigh Ride. Johnny Mathis Need a Little Christmas, Winter Wonderland and his Let it Snow. Nat for The Christmas Song O Tannenbaum and O Holy Night. The Eagles Please Come Home for Christmas. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by The Carpenters or James Taylor. Do not do Sinatra. The arrangement sounds like he just blurts out whatever line he remembers at the time. Celebrate Me Home by Kenny Loggins.

A lot of people do a good It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas except Perry Como. Some bizarre laughing.

Other songs I like:
Silver Bells, Blue Christmas, I'll Be Home for Christmas, What Child is This because it's played to Greensleeves. There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays.

I prefer Darlene Love's version of Baby Please Come Home to the U2 version.

I like Santa Clause is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen.

Merry Christmas I Don't Want to Fight Tonight by the Ramones.

Christmas Vacation by Descendents.

Mr. Grinch has grown on me lately.

Have always enjoyed this one.

I cannot stand the Mariah Carey version of this......but that's my wifes favorite Christmas song. 


Another song I'm really liking this year is Mele Kalikimaka by Chris Issack.
