So just then days to go to the big seasonal day, and Prog Magazine has been celebrating December by drawing on the genre's rich association with festive music, bringing you a proggy treat each day.
Today it's the turn of the late, great Keith Emerson. In 1988, Emerson released The Christmas Album, the follow-up to his debut solo offering, 1981's Honky. In keeping with tradition it featured a mix of seasonal favourites and classical pieces associated with Christmas, and we've taken Emerson's typically ebullient take on We Three Kings, a right festive proggy knees up!
So enjoy. And remember, this isn’t a “best of” list. We're not adhering to any numerical order. These are just 25 great seasonal songs for you to enjoy. It’s as simple as that. Season's greetings…
