Holiday Songs

[pinkfloyd1973]

How about Holiday/Christmas Songs coverd or created by rock musicians then.

Weird though, Haven't heard anyone mention Dennis' single from last year.

Heh. Not really one of my faves from him.

Wish he would do a Christmas....something. Play the keys and sing and post them on his website, or ITunes. That voice should be singing some beautiful Christmas music!

I agree. I've been thinking he should do a CD for years now.

I agree also, I LOVE his version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" from The Today Show (and Zan your baby girl is ADORABLE)

I am a huge DDY fan but I think "When I Hear a Christmas Song" is absolutely fucking terrible.

Stevie Wonder's version of "Someday at Christmas"

Hey, what ever happened to the guy who sang "when I hear a christmas song" acapella in front of his entire family last year ??? If I remember correctly, his political views were well to the right of Ronald Reagan's.

He was one interesting dude......was he Rajah too ?????

That would be Lifegiver, passionate lover of "She Cares." LOL

And if you figure it out, maybe you could tell us all how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop.

Right wingers or Republicans as they are more commonly refered to are put in power to screw up the countries debt whilst giving the rich 5% of the country huge tax breaks so they can buy another yacht whilst middle income earners are well and truely screwed as they do not earn enough for help ........ my house taxes doubled but i did not earn more to cover it, people WITH health care are hammered in co-pays and he has the nerve to ask for more money for his phony war, WMDs, IRAN buiding nukes, lies lies lies, if Bush was a famous wooden puppet his nose would stretch from Rhode Island to California and if MITT ( SLIMEBALL) ROMNEY is elected we should all move to Canada .... i better stop or i could go on for ages and the topic was about christmas songs ......

PS I believe In Father Christmas was by Greg Lake not ELP

No one made you move to this country. Since the day you got here, all you've done is complained.

what was that bumper sticker i saw the other day? "dissent is the greatest form of patriotism"

[Rockwriter]

what was that bumper sticker i saw the other day? "dissent is the greatest form of patriotism"

AMEN to that! After all, what were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, if not dissenters?

As far as Christmas songs go, I have to be honest, I hate all but a few. I DO like "I Believe In Father Christmas" by Greg Lake, and I also like "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby. And every year I listen to 'The Animals' Christmas" by Jimmy Webb, sung by Art Garfunkel and Amy Grant. But that's about it; the rest, I guess I've heard so many different versions of the same old songs, I'd just as soon never hear them again. I really, really hate when people cover Christmas songs that have been covered a bezillion times before. It's like, hey, you're not gonna top Bing Crosby . . . so why record "White Christmas"?

Merry Christmas to all! Anyone know if Shaw Blades are doing any Christmas stuff in the current show? I am going on Saturday here in Nashville. I'll be reviewing it for Classic Rock Revisited.
