One of my favourites is Silent Night
While stationed in Germany, heard it in German for the 1st time
Such a beautiful carol

Very nice harmony between Jennifer Nettles and Idina Menzel, also excellent drum interlude. I do not think I ever heard this version before. Thank you for posting it. It is one of my very favorites.

...and sung like an angel by Nana Mouskouri, whom I have heard sing in many languages before, but never German. She makes even German, which always sounds harsh to me, sound soft!
And yes, it is a beautiful carol. (I have studied German. I do not mean to disparage the language, but it does sound harsh to me!)

It's my favorite carol, and I listened to a lot of vids trying to find the perfect one to share. I like the more traditional ones, too, but YES it was the drums that sold me on this one. Gotta have strong drums, and somehow they made them joyous. Kind of nontraditional, but I'm glad you liked it!

Did you see the version by Sinead O'Connor that I posted? (Post 50)

She has a beautiful voice. That is my favorite version

I saw it. (I know you are addressing MaryP.) That is "Silent Night", however. We were discussing "The Little Drummer Boy". Or at least I think we were. I fell asleep with my clothes and boots on earlier and I may not know what I am discussing! I should change into my pajamas and go to bed!

Oh. Oops. No, it was me....I had posted silent night by Sinead O'Conner then someone posted it in German, which was cool.

But no, you had it right.
 
Another classic

I love this. It was recorded in 1978. I posted another version of Bruce Springsteen singing this live in 2007 on page 2 of this thread. I also love that version. If anyone else is a Springsteen fan, you can see both versions.
 
"The Rebel Jesus"
Jackson Browne

 
"Cantique de Noël" (O Holy Night)
Joan Baez

When I was little, I wondered for the longest time why they put the poor Baby Jesus in a manger full of peas.
