Christmas Playlist

Christmas Playlist

Postby ArchAngel » Mon Dec 03, 2012 5:37 pm

Alright, it's now December and I think it's time to start compiling a Christmas playlist of our favorite renditions of our favorite Christmas songs.
I'll start.


I'm generally not a fan of rock covers of Christmas carols or classic songs, but there are a couple I feel that did a good job and this is one of them.

Can we try something new? How about we post only one song for post (no double posts).
It seems like a lot of the video/music collection threads, a lot of items are posted, but almost never commented on (or assuming viewed).
I'm hoping this will keep the thread from getting too saturated (helping it to load easier) but also make it more manageable for people to listen to what others posted and comment. I'm not sure if it's going to work, but I'd like to try it out and see.

Also, what do you guys think about a rule to make at least one comment about the previous video? Something to spark conversation.

Enjoying yours Arch, I like the jazzyness of it. Still sticking with my favorite. ;)

TSO/Savatage are undoubtedly awesome. I love that song, too.
Got to see TSO in concert a couple years ago. It was a sweet show.

Well, I'm going to have my up my Carol of the Bells ante and present my favorite celloist of all time, Stephen Sharp Nelson from The Piano Guys.

Christmas rock, eh?

Can we get some Manheim Steamroller up in here?

(Entirely joking by the way, I can't stand them, as I think Nat King Cole could sing any christmas song better than MS could play it).

It's super cheesy, but I can't help but love the Relient K Christmas album. So many good songs.

You guys need new christmas music....
Breathing and blinking. You're doing both manually now
