Playlist Thunderdome, Week 29
Steve’s out of town and asked me to take care of Thunderdoming this week. Last week’s winner was R.E.M. I’ll refrain from commenting beyond that.
This week: Christmas songs! I was trying to go for current bands doing old standards, but I couldn’t resist including the Kinks.
Have at it.
Ooooh, that’s tough. BNL’s version is one of my favorites, but Chris Cornell doing Ave Maria is gorgeous….

I vote for Jethro Tull’s “Christmas Song.”
The Christmas spirit is not what you drink.

My write-in vote, of course, is for Sufjan Stevens.
But my actual vote will go to Ray Davies’ classic.

BTW - do they even celebrate Christmas in Canada?
(Kidding.)

Of course they celebrate Christmas in Canada. It’s the Maple Leaf State.

Had not heard that version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen before. Sarah McLachlan left me breathless. Amazing.
