I have to have a compilation christmas cd in a week for the college winter production.

I have been given completely free reign over what songs are used

Thing is I can only think of a few.. obviously I know lots of Christmas songs but I wanna use the ones everyone knows and loves.. as I said a few spring to mind but...

Anyway.. your opinions please, what are THE BEST christmas songs?

Thanks.. xx
 
I love:
ave maria - luciano pavarotti is my favorite but there are lesser intense version out there.

O Holy Night - again luciano is the man -but there are good versions

Santa Claus is comin' to town - Bruce springsteen -I am a jersey girl after all

Father Christmas - the kinks

Thank God It's Christmas - Queen

White Christmas - bing and only bing please

Green Christmas -Barenaked ladies

Jewel released a holiday album a few years ago that has some really pretty songs on it

Please come home for christmas the eagles

Boogie Woogie Santa clause -Brian setzer - actually that whole album is fun

Rocin' round the christmas tree -brenda lee

Panis Angelicus -Luciano please but Andrea Bocelli has made opera really accessible and has sme beautiful versions of the classics.

I hate christmas but love the music and as much of a heathen as I am - I like the religious songs - particularly in latin sung by a tenor...
 
All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey is my ultimate favourite hehe. And now i actually can't think of any more off the top of my head :-S

so you'e going away from tradition...

what's the theme behind it? going for all remakes? a blues christmas - modern christmas -a politically correct holiday themed.. no mention of christmas at all...
 
I have absolutely no idea but the exact instructions I was given was to 'make a cd containing the best Christmas songs, the ones everyone knows and loves'.. :confused:
 
i think it'd be fun to consider a theme cd - like christmas music from the movies.. or hte colors of christmas - and the other thing I'd also look at is if you're going towards secular vs non secular songs... and sticking with holiday related...
