    Seeing Seb’s Christmas compilation the other day got me thinking that there must be a few people on here that also make up their own Christmas CD/ playlist each Christmas. I’m just interested to see what other people are listening to as I always like to expand my list and mix it up a little bit.

    Here’s my current mix, which is largely a mix of people doing interesting takes on well know Christmas songs, comedy songs and the odd classic well known one I always keep in.

    Bob Rivers – A Message from the King
    Ted Nuggent – Deck The Halls
    The Prog World Orchestra (Neal Morse) – Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
    Bob Rivers – Twelve Pains Of Christmas
    Zakk Wilde – White Christmas
    BB King – Merry Christmas Baby
    The Brian Setzer Orchestra – Zat You Santa Claus? / Stray Cat Strut
    Jethro Tull – A Christmas Song
    Tim Minchin – Woody Allen Jesus
    The Brian Setzer Orchestra – Jingle Bells
    The Prog World Orchestra (Neal Morse) – Little Drummer Boy
    Spinal Tap – Christmas With The Devil
    Kenny Wayne Shepherd – Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
    Gregg Lake – I Believe In Father Christmas
    Bob Rivers – Holidaze (S’cuze Me, I’ve Got Gifts to Buy)
    The Darkness – Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)
    Robin Trower – O’ Little Town Of Bethlehem
    The Pogues – Fairytale Of New York
    Weird Al Yankovic – The Night Santa Went Crazy
    Jethro Tull – Ring Out Solstice Bells
    The Prog World Orchestra (Neal Morse) – Shred Ride / Winter Wonderland
    Tim Minchin – White Wine In The Sun

    >…and Phil, how the the heck have I missed that song? I’ve never heard that before in my life!

    I assume you mean that in a good way, and if so…then I’m pleased to have made a fellow Mega Man fan happy. :) (Street Fighter X Mega Man one week from today! Early xmas for me!)

    You assume correct sir!

    …and yes, Street Fighter X Megaman looks amazing. Being free just makes it even sweeter!

    There’s only one thing better than a Dr Buckles song, and that’s Dr Buckles doing a Bob Dylan impression.

    And Bowie.

    And Eno as well (hello).

    Smashing Pumpkins. Love most of Infinite Sadness and have listened to it lots of times over.

    Can’t get into any of their other stuff at all. But for Cupid De Locke alone I deem them worthy.

    I can hear “Duquesne Whistle” blowing out the stereo upstairs. I love the whole of Tempest, but that first track is my current favourite.

    Just to prove my cred when it comes to Bob Dylan :D

    Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I did a (probably too) lengthy essay on the closing track of Tempest recently:

    Noiseless Chatter Spotlight: “Roll On John,” Bob Dylan (2012)

    Wouldn’t normally pimp that here but if you’re a fan of the album (and I’m glad you are!) you might be at least slightly interested!

    Might.

    ANYWAY CHRISTMAS IS GOOD HUH

    I really enjoyed that article, though I have to admit I love most of Infidels and Street Legal (I know the production is muddied to hell, but Changing of the Guards I love wholeheartedly).

    But to get back to the Christmas motif, here’s a song by a band that was overrated at first, then became underrated, and is now an almost entirely different band.

    Hate all you want, but they were brilliant in their prime.

    I totally forgot to add anything from Dylan’s Christmas album, but it is indeed great. His last few releases have been particularly good in fact. I totally agree with the comments on Duquesne Whistle; it’s a massively catchy song.

    Though I haven’t inspected it for years. i don’t know what’s on the b-side…
