I've been listening to a ton of classic xmas albums lately, and want some more to add to my xmas playlist.

Thx in advance.

White Christmas.

The melody and chords both more complex than the average poppy Christmas song and yet are still musically perfect to me somehow.

The movie is surprisingly good too.

I abhor Christmas and it's music, but even I like Mannheim Steamroller's synthy Christmas album

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 22 hours ago

Sorry. I can't.

https://youtu.be/xIiNbBQM_Go explains quite nicely.

I'm not Christian/religious at all, but I still have a very deep nostalgia for classic Christmas hymns like Silent Night, O Holy Night, etc. I remember sitting beside my tree as a child listening to our music lights playing midis of all of them. The lyrics can be discarded entirely.

I'll be mainstream and I'll say:

Underneath the tree by Kelly Clarkson

But I'd like to mention:

  • Last Christmas by wham
  • War is over by John Lennon and yoko Ono
  • I'll be home for Christmas sung by Tate McRae. Unfortunately that one seems like an apple music exclusive. I think it's a nice cover though

You could also try Jingle bells, even though it's not quite as elegant.

Somehow I've never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I'm not even religious

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago

Harry Belafonte did a good amount of xmas songs, all of them great.
