This time of year? “Silent Night” by Bing Crosby.

This took me a bit to track down, since I’d only heard it in the car and barely remembered any of the lyrics…

It’s not my style of music at all, but I’ll be damned if I can’t get [Ways to Go](http://youtu.be/VGvHnDeS12o) out of my head. It’s been in there about a month.

It’s almost impossible to come up with a single most favorite song. There are probably twenty that all fill different niches for me and I couldn’t really narrow it down more than that.

But the last time I went into iTunes to pull up specific songs, it was for these two.  
[Last of the Wilds](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwES9M0isVM) by Nightwish  
[Ultimate Ratio Regum](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMw9LO3kGho) by Hollenthon.

They’re both instrumental celtic/metal hybrids. What I need is about two dozen albums just like these two songs and I’d be a very happy person.

[REM’s “The Great Beyond.”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKbMKgaPHCI) Just strongly resonating with me right now…

I never get tired of listening to [Madness](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq9zhpBweDk) by Muse. I just really like this song. Great guitar solo too.

David Bowie’s “Memory of a Free Festival”

For the past few days, all I can seem to say is “Sun machine is coming down and we’re gonna have party.”

I’ve finally gone back and listened to this song enough that I felt I had to buy the whole comp (on pink vinyl!), so it’s probably my favorite right now [No Money](http://pisstest.bandcamp.com/album/no-rules-records-no-fun-compilation-lp) by Piss Test. A love song in one minute, seven seconds of fury.
