Best U2 Christmas song/cover ?

[U2girl]

Since it's that time of the year...which do you prefer ?

The cover of Christmas (Baby please come home) or I believe in father Christmas ?

 

[alanah]

I have no doubt.. Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) for me. Bono's voice is so sexy and amazing on that song. I LOVE it!

 

[LemonMelon]

Bono's voice is friggin' incredible on Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home). Always catches me off guard and reminds me what an amazing singer he was then. The background harmonies are great fun too. I dig Edge's guitar work on I Believe In Father Christmas, but to me it's not even close.

god...that ending is so fucking brilliant...so much joy, it never gets old..."I wish you a hopeful Christmas, I wish you a brave new year"

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

id say they are both brilliant

 

[powerhour24]

^Agreed, and truly sound like the album work from the eras in which they produced. 'I Believe in Father Christmas' and NLOTH2 really make me wish they would just go in the studio with some unused songs and just produce a record themselves like those songs.

 

[Rosebud]

Love 'em both!

[rileybug]

Hey, what about "Driving to Midnight Mass on a Dublin Christmas Eve"? Though I guess it's not really a song.

White As Snow.

 

[jacobus]

Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)

 

[Notabene]

They both are great, but I love Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) maybe it has something to do with that era

 

[gweeps]

I believe in father Christmas

 

[Gabi_Clayton]

I love them both.

 

[Andreianloth]

Both are amazing Christmas songs

 

[macphisto54]

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). Amazing.

 

[Jeannieco]

How about all of the above?

As side note; I plan on playing White As Snow for my family before we open presents this year. Not to be a downer or a sap, but it seems like a fitting reminder that while we celebrate keep in mind there are wars raging on the planet and families are seperated and suffering abounds. Count your blessings in whatever way you celebrate and remember them.

Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home). I heard it on the radio last night, great song.

 

[phommel]

I like both

But I vote for 'I belive in father christmas'
Great interpretation of this song. It could have ben a U2 song, with those lyrics.

 

[alanah]

Of course both songs are great, but I've always loved Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home).

 

[Andreianloth]

I heard both yesterday and mine choice was "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)"

 

[greety]

Of course both songs are great, but I've always loved Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home).

I couldn't agree more

 

[alanah]

[alanah]

I heard both yesterday and mine choice was "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)"

CHRISTMAS (BABY, PLEASE COME HOME). Everything they touched around then turned to gold.
