What music are you listening to ?

I definitely forgot the John Lennon song - as ridiculous as that sounds! Actually its my joint fave with Greg. Though Eric Idles little ditty does deserve a dishonorable mention.I don't think I've ever heard Joni's Xmas tune before.

 

That Suzanne Vega album is simply brilliant.

 

one reminded me of the other in the theme - simply unattainable and full of confusing mystery, might be why Billy Joel came to include some of the lyrics in:-

 

and coincidentally

 

Joni's 'River' wins hands down, but for me it's not a Christmas song like the others - just a great song that has the word Christmas in it

 

I forgot this track, not a huge fan of the track TBH,not even sure it's a crimbo song.

 

same here, yes it was/is - glad you remembered it, happy song/ happy memories of the Christmas when that came out.

fascinating - "never intended as a Christmas song, was actually meant to be an anti-war protest"..

Makes me think of "Galveston" that got most success with Glenn Campbell in a mainly uplifting style although the original writer was actually prodding the thinking behind Vietnam in reality.
