RockyRaccoon Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm creating a nice little playlist of christmas songs as done by classic rock musicians. Here's what I've got so far: "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"- John Lennon "Wonderful Christmastime"- Paul McCartney "Thank God It's Christmas"- Queen "Step Into Christmas"- Elton John "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)"- The Beatles "Please Come Home For Christmas"- The Eagles "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"- Bruce Springsteen "The Christmas Song"- Chicago "Christmas Must Be Tonight"- The Band "Winterlude"- Bob Dylan "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"- U2 "Christmas All Over Again"- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "I Believe In Father Christmas"- ELP Any other suggestions?
