Christmas & Prog Rock

[BigBob]

After the passing of Greg Lake, I just listened to his "I Believe in Father Christmas" song. I was wondering if there any good prog rock artists who have made Christmas songs?

I think Ian Anderson made one?

[Wil1972]

Jethro Tull did "A Christmas Song".

 

 

And I remember about 15 years ago Alex contributed a short instrumental version of "Little Drummer Boy" to a collection called Merry Axe-mas.

Tull's final studio work was "The Jethro Tull Christmas Album."

That's such an awesome song. One of my all time favorite Christmas songs.
