Boards Christmas Spotify Playlist?

baby and crumble

Ok, so I LOVE making playlists. Love love love.

So i was wondering if folks would like to nominate a few songs for a Boards Christmas Playlist on spotify? I know everyone loves Christmas FM but I don't really like radio stations, i prefer just having constant music...

If people pop a few suggestions in here I'll start it off and share the link

**EDIT - Here's the link, keep the suggestions coming!

Boards.ie Christmas Forum Playlist!**

Great idea!

My pick Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone and Once Upon A Christmas song - Geraldine McQueen.

I know, I am very displeased.

Great idea. My choices are "When a child is born" by Johnny Mathis and "Stop the Cavalry" by Jona Lewie.

Thanks B & C.

Don't put Last Christmas on it - in case any one is playing that game where you try to avoid the song for as long into December as possible!
Or do and deliberately sabotage it for someone!

My suggestion - A Winter's Tale, Greg Lake.

Did you mean David Essex? Or did Greg lake do a version I can't find?

Inevitable. Driving home for Christmas. All I want for chiristmas is you. Oh holy night.

Robbie Williams has a Christmas album out. He has a duet with Jamie Cullum that’s very good.

That version doesn't seem to be on Spotify, so I went with the Steeleye Span version instead.

Steeleye spans version is good too

'Its the most wonderful time of the year' by Andy Williams
'Do they know its Christmas' by Band Aid (original version)

Love this tune, and its overlooked on so many christmas albums/collections/playlists.

Cracking.

CheerLouth

Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth - Bowie & Bing!

Plus one for the Darkness & Stop the Cavalry (I flippin' love that song!)

Mollyb60

Can I nominate Carol of the Bells? I also love 'Do you hear what I hear' but there's a specific Carrie Underwood version that I love most.

pm9999

Sufjan Stevens with "Hey Guys! It's Xmas Time!"

The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride - One of my fave versions
Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

I also love Liberty Bell by Autamata, but I'm not if it's strictly a Christmas song...

Going to assume you meant Grandma.

Or maybe the reindeer were just fed up with the slave labour.

A winters tale is more of a January song i think?

If not nominated so far I go for Saviors day Cliff Richard. Love it !

U2 have 2 Christmas songs.

Christmas - please come home

A fantastic Motown/ Phil Spector effort

And a cover of I believe In Father Christmas - good cover

Beechwoodspark

Jonah Louie - stop the Cavalry

Boney M - Mary’s boy child

Mike oldfield - in dulcio jublio

Seamai

Kate Bush: December Will be Magic Again.

Donna Summer: Winter Melody.

yogidc26

Enya - Silent Night (in Irish)
I only heard this two years ago! Lovely version of it.

Posy

Queen- Thank God It's Christmas

eviltwin

Kelly Clarkson Underneath the Tree

Cork Lass

Mel and Kim‘s Rockin around the Christmas tree is a good one and despite everything I still love Baby it’s Cold Outside - the original, not the John Legend/Kelly Clarkson one.

The J Stands for Jay

LCD Soundsystem - Christmas Will Break Your Heart

Littlehorny

Over forty posts and Fairytale of New York hasn't mentioned, so I'll nominate it now!
Also Christmas in Hollis by RUN DMC is surprisingly good.
Great idea for a Christmas thread OP.

Toto Wolfcastle

Mele Kalikimaka by (I think) Bing Crosby.

Markey1

Mistletoe & Wine

Star Lord

If it gets listened to, he gets paid, so rather not have him on there!

Some suggestions, movie based...:

Darlene Love - All Alone on Christmas https://open.spotify.com/track/5LcXgvFrPx26X8ZexNMT0s?si=QAgMWh-gTMiUWlaOyXi8kw

The Drifters - White Christmas - https://open.spotify.com/track/72Z28IsvEVLjSWdUKEQgZ0?si=acz2_nHHTIiWcgCLpBvtYA

Luis Prima - Pennies From Heaven - https://open.spotify.com/track/6qLbTCa3QZkqP2XSYuf93B?si=3f7s77wvQYWcq5Nrz4QXTg
It's not traditionally a Christmas song, but being from Elf is good enough of a link for me!

The Muppets Christmas Carol - It Feels Like Christmas - https://open.spotify.com/track/2NzSAmFZWgOe3q17jOEots?si=0-YNBs8pSmWxKWDwMPX70g

Katie Campbell, Dominic Hauser - Christmas Vacation - https://open.spotify.com/track/0X6P2uxxWYfiuq6PnyOEjL?si=HRrv2-tATdi8lpydvlZacA

Lady Antabellum does a nice version of have yourself a merry little Christmas too. Not sure if the bands name is spelled right there.

It's a great version, it's already made my Christmas 2019 playlist.
