In the sticky christmas MP3-thread I gathered some great tracks together. Enjoy songs that stand out like Neil Diamonds unbelievable bombastic version of Happy X-mas (war is over), Or the heavy rockin' little drummerboy with beautiful harmonized vocals by the Dandy Warhols. Chris Cornell in a devastating Ave Maria, and a great chuckle in Grandaddy's alan parsons in a winter wonderland. It's all there folks and alot more! 23 tracks!

bump. just because it holds a few days, and there's not been much interest 'till now. It was alot of work though, and the result is amazingly good. If I may say so myself. Give it a try, if you want to!

Thanks Gerald!

I needed some music to get me into the spirit and played your list while cooking this morning.

Now it is snowing, snowing, snowing....in this part of Colorado we are definitely having a White Christmas!

At Christmas I'm extra forgiving.

But she does this quite beautiful. It's a great song.

I'm glad this finds its way to some more households! Great songs!
