Everyone has heard ELP's Christmas song...I was just wondering if any other prog acts have done Christmas music? I can't think of any but then again, I can't claim to have heard them all anyway.

Hi there Groovinpict,

Songs that spring to mind are ...

'Christmas Song' - Jethro Tull

'In Dulci Jubilo' - Mike Oldfield

'I Believe In Father Christmas' - Greg Lake

'Three Ships' (entire album) - Jon Anderson

Another track that certainly has a 'Christmassy Feel' (to me anyway) is 'Run With The Fox' by Chris Squire and Alan White.

Expect to hear them on the S.A. playlist very soon ... Cool

What about "Run with the fox" by Chris Squire and Alan White, it often gets a play on radio 2 round about this time of year. Cheers.

A more beautiful song you'll be lucky to find. OK, not really a Christmas song either. Still I think it just sneaks in.

Roscoe Stellar Newbie Offline Posts: 1	Re: Prog Christmas Music Reply #9 - 10^th Dec, 2008 at 6:51pm A group called Ten Point Ten produced a Christmas album called "12/25" about 5 years ago. "He Is Born" is a prog standout regardless of the season. The rest of the album is a prog fan's dream as well. This gets heavy play in my car in December. http://www.progrockrecords.com/shop/view.php?id=84
