"Sleigh Ride" Leroy AndersonFrom what I've read, composer Leroy Anderson never intended this orchestral piece to be a holiday Christmas tune. He intended it as simply a "sleigh ride."His original composition did not contain words at all - - a purely instrumental piece. The words were added a lot later.I much prefer the piece in its original form, with no words. :)And it has become my Number One favorite Christmas holiday tune. :) less

The more I discover about this symphony, the more I'm thankful I've heard it.If you have an just under an hour, consider listening. My recommendation is to listen in its entirety.
Metallica generally don't do mellow, but my daughter wants this as her bridal waltz when the world goes back to normal and she and her fiance can finally get married - and it IS a waltz.
Even though most people I know hate U2, I still wonder how anyone could not like U2's "With or Without You."Just my take on the song. i know everyone has a right to not like anything.:)
Mine?On radio stations, I finally get to hear to hear Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" rather than Kid Rock's (annoying to me) "All Summer Long."

Whenever I hear that Kid Rock song all year long - - all I want to do is hear Zevon's Werewolves..(And I realize Kid Rock references a couple of other songs in his song but all I hear is "Werewolves of London.")
