Top Five On Friday – Week 49

In honor of the first major snow storm of the year.

Top Five “Winter” Songs

My Picks – In No Particular Order:

I thought I would ‘build’ into this theme WINTER .. SNOW .. BLIZZARD STORM .. and CHRISTMAS !- the making of a great Top Five for Winter (if you ask me – but what do I know – :-D)

(1) Glenn Miller Orchestra – Winter Wonderland

>> Big Bands + Christmas Songs = Awesome … (Besides .. you can’t go wrong with Glenn Miller) …

(2) X T C – Snowman

>> I have always been a fan of these two songs from XTC … “Making Plans For Nigel” and “Snowman” …

(3) IDA – Blizzard of ’78

>> My wife’s cousin Peter pointed me towards http://www.epitonic.com/ and I have many many songs in my collection as a result! I found IDA songs here (in case you were wondering who IDA was …) http://www.epitonic.com/artists/ida.html

(4) The Beach Boys – Frosty The Snowman

>> I was just thinking about this the other day chatting with a friend, listening to David Bowie & Bing Crosbie sing the Little Drummer Boy song. I think it was genius of all the artists who make decent christmas songs .. because people will always listen to them over and over and over every year … Like the Beach Boys … They made tons of christmas songs .. they didn’t have to!

(5) Christmas Light Show – LINKS – Copied from My Other Site
