My all time favourite song for christmas is by Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (Marry Chrisymas to You). I am very soft for Nats vocal prows, and hes piano skills. He might be my favourite vocal preformer, and this song inparticular showcases hes amazing ability to hit perfect notes. Hes also a very good pianist.

Spessialy also that litle "jingle bell" chord strumming on the end of the song is very cool, remeinds me of something Robert Fripp would have done.

I am planning a sole Nat King Cole thread also, hes worth many listens and much reading up about. Perhaps my favourite musician of that time. Hes the best voice.

This refrain/ vocal line is sung by Nat King Cole with such perfection in both pace, dynamics and sincerity, one of the best lines ever sung.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

More on the 'classical' side:





Welshman Karl Jenkins 2009 work; it has plenty of choruses and trumpets.. very interesting (imo). Heard it last night at a classical music station.

Here's the link to the playlist for the complete album:

TIS THE SEASON.

This thread (or one just like it) pops up every year I'm sure. So why start a new one? Name some more favorite Proggy Christmas tunes! (Or albums) if there was a proggy Christmas Suite out there that'd be amazing.

Tunes or albums work!

A few days early, but thanks for 'resurrecting' this thread (tee-hee see what I did there?).

Since it never came up the last time around and it has certainly had world wide affect, I give you the video that started it all...
