Best Christmas song

Silent Night



This just totally lacks credibility to me. They didn't have epidurals back then. Yeah, you could probably hear Mary yelling for miles.

And what about Joseph, eh? I'm sure his communications were more than just muttering. "I'm telling you, God, you BETTER be the father. Yeah, she's telling ME that she's a virgin? Yeah, right, and now I got this to deal with. I'm telling you, without all this action, I think I'm gonna go find someone from the Spears family. I'm sure I could nail one of them."




But, to answer the question, I am particularly fond of Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters. Karen Carpenter just had the most amazing voice....

Oh, and Christmas with the Devil by Spinal Tap.

Aside from traditional-style hymns, Mannheim Steamroller's version of "Silent Night" is very beautiful.

My favorite is also 'Oh Holy Night', but only if it is performed by someone who can really do it justice. I don't want to hear it by some mediocre vocalist. It's kinda like 'Unchained Melody'. If you can't really nail it, don't sing it.

I was pleasantly surprised to see someone mention Perry Como. My mom performed with him a ton of times back in the day.B|

Jerry,

In regard to Perry Como, he was a crooner and song stylist. A lot of people don't think of the old crooners as having 'smooth' voices. Is this your opinion?

Personally, when I think of a 'smooth' voice; I think of someone like Luther Vandross.

Hell, for all I know, Bobcat Goldthwait could have a smooth voice!
