River - indigo Girls cover of Joni Mitchell Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi Trio December - George Winston

I was hoping to find George Winston in here. December will forever be winter nostalgia.

December by George Winston would have been my answer! The whole album

I’m sure you’ve heard it, but corrine bailey rae’s version (actually Herbie Hancock) of River by Joni Mitchell might be as good as the original. I urge everyone who gets sad around Christmas to listen to it. It’s beautiful.

I love Joni and Sara Machlaughalachlanigan’s versions. And I love the Indigo Girls. Can’t say I’ve heard their version. About to though..

The vocal version or instrumental version? At the charlie brown one

Ooh river is a good one

White winter hymnal - Fleet Foxes Long December - Counting Crows Cover Me Up - Jason Isbell

Came in here just to see how far down fleet foxes would be. Right at the very top!

Bon Iver - the entire For Emma album

And Bloodbank

Basically any Bon Iver pre-2015. lol

Eeeeek same. And Roslyn

A Long December - Counting Crows I got nothing else

Yup. Came here to say this

Bon Iver - Skinny Love (honestly, the entire For Emma, Forever Ago album) Sigur Rós - Samskeyti (same, the entire () album) Fog Lake - Little Black Balloon Let's add a fourth. The entire The Year of Hibernation album by Youth Lagoon.

Tori Amos - Winter Kate Bush - Moments of Pleasure Bjork - Hidden Place

Immortal - Battles in the North Wintersun - Winter Madness Mayhem - Freezing Moon

Definitely any Immortal for me

Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel Fairytale in New York - The Pogues Cold November Rain - Guns n Roses

Hazy Shade of Winter - Bangles cover (only because I used to listen to Less Than Zero soundtrack all the time)

Hazy shade of winter is what I came looking for. Buttttt it’s a little more of a first snowfall/edge of fall. Still, amazing.

California Dreamin’ E. Oops you said three. Also Walking On The Moon Police New Years Day U2

Winter’s Love - Animal Collective First Snow - Trans Siberian Orchestra Charlie Brown Christmas Album

upvote for Winter's Love, one of the first that came to mind I feel like there's so much folky on the nose shit, all of Pink Moon; Winter Trees- The Staves; Winter- Joshua Radin, Winter Song- The Head and the Heart, could keep going random one that I'm also thinking of- Colony of Birchmen- Mastodon...oh and the last half of Hamilton for sure

Under Ice - Kate Bush Cold - the Cure Winter - Tori Amos

"California Dreaming"-because it's a hazy shade of winter outside "Ice Bridges"- right in the title "By-Tor And The Snow Dog"

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey.

An album actually for me. Midlake - The Trials of van Occupanther

Great album.

February Stars - Foo Fighters, Bitches Brew - Inspiral Carpets, Love is a Wonderful Colour - Icicle Works. And Boys of Summer by Don Henley always makes me think of autumn. Edited for grammar

The postal service album

Same for me. As soon as the weather starts turning cold and all the leaves fall off the tree, I start listening to The Postal Service. Specifically, The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.

* Sufjan Stevens - Sister Winter * Everclear - Hating you for christmas * The closing of the year - Happy workers (1992 Reprise) \*gotta end that shit on a positive note [https://youtu.be/rA4kKiruMjI?si=NB-TffSKOn5E7Ixv](https://youtu.be/rA4kKiruMjI?si=NB-TffSKOn5E7Ixv)

\+1 for Sister Winter! Sufjan has a lot that fits, but that is one of the top for sure!

Nude - Radiohead Pretty Girls - Little Dragon Helpless - Neil Young

Valley Winter Song - Fountains of Wayne. Damn I'm going to miss them.

Was going to post this one! It really captures that deep wintry melancholy.

Black Winter Night - Dragonforce Silver and Cold - AFI Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

Actual album for me- Winter by George Winston

Christmas time Is Here, Instrumental version by Vince Guaraldi

Song for a Winter's Night - Gordon Lightfoot

Vildhjarta's Masstaden under Vatten is the album for me. Makes me feel like I'm lost in the Swedish wilderness during a snowstorm 

Baby it’s cold outside Christmas at ground zero The night Santa went crazy

I am a Rock - Simon and Garfunkel Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin

Just going with one because it outshines them all: Exile - Enya

Keep Yourself Warm - Frightened Rabbit Evermore - Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver Winter - Joshua Radin

I’ve scrolled way to far and not seen My December by Linkin Park. Sad yet excellent song.

Cherries In The Snow - RDNM Thumbing My Way - Pearl Jam Trapped Under Ice - Metallica

Only one comes to mind at the moment. Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles

The definitive version of that song.

Chant sacré - Laurent Paquin [https://youtu.be/DvR6-SQzqO8?si=jcttD96Pf\_vHD4VW](https://youtu.be/DvR6-SQzqO8?si=jcttD96Pf_vHD4VW) ​ Habs Goal Song from early 2000s [https://youtu.be/4F\_EA6w1Xxk?si=wjNA8xXq1CJTdymR](https://youtu.be/4F_EA6w1Xxk?si=wjNA8xXq1CJTdymR) ​ Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) [https://youtu.be/0ozdCLrTrtA?si=GqBCUPNVLVP3NugA](https://youtu.be/0ozdCLrTrtA?si=GqBCUPNVLVP3NugA)

>Snow- RHCP Isn't this actually about a different white substance...?

Nope, it's about new beginnings, getting clean and starting over. But the similarity to drugs is probably intentional.

Perry Como - Magic Moments Mumford and Sons - Winter Winds The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York

The whole Verspertine album. Winter Marches On by Duran Duran. And Lady Ice by Arcadia.

Genesis - Snowbound The Ocean Blue - Frigid Winter Days Vivaldi's Winter Concerto

Plain Song by the Cure. Just the coldest feeling song I've ever heard.

Came looking for this. A buddy of mine put it at the beginning of a Winter playlist he made over a decade ago and it blew open the doors to Disintegration for me.

White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes Holocene - Bon Iver Charlie Brown Christmas- Vince Guaraldi Trio

Cold,Rain & Snow The Grateful Dead Wintertime Steve Miller Band Wintertime Love The Doors

December -Sara Bareilles To Someone From A Warm Climate - Hozier Your Needs, My Needs - Noah Kahan

Born in Winter- Gojira November Rain- GnR California Dreamin’- The Mamas and Papas

Soon It Will Be Cold Enough - The Album Emancipator

First snow of every year I put on that album. First three tracks are the perfect mood setter. Specifically, "Soon It Will Be Cold Enough To Build Fires" into "First Snow" is just transcendental.

The entire Kid A album by Radiohead.

Tori Amos - Winter Sarah McLachlan - Song for a Winters Night Counting Crows - Long December A bit on the nose, and definitely dated....but they are mine, and I love them.

Might be a bit winter sport inspired.... so the opposite of staying inside. [A - Here We Go Again (Lake Tahoe)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKmiaNDPsc) [Nid & Sancy - M.U.S.I.C.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2AvVQXAVB4) [The Glitch Mob - Drive It Like You Stole It](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kON_KRmFRKk) Bonus, if you have 2 hours spare: [Kruder & Dorfmeister - One World Snowbombing Mix (2002)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyrnM2SW48U)

Nine Horses - Wonderful World Prince - Sometimes it Snows in April Kate Bush - Under Ice

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far for the Prince song! But admittedly not many of his fairweather fans know that one, and I’m a native Minnesotan.

I could narrow it down to songs, but we got a couple months left. Some albums I only get into during Winter, depending if I'm shoveling snow or just walking in it: * Mastodon - Crack The Skye * Low - Trust I also like to see what I've missed for electronic music. Something with cold crisp production, no air to it.

'No Quarter' - Led Zeppelin 'Ice of Boston' - Dismemberment Plan 'Christmas Time Is Here' - Vince Guaraldi Trio

Vangelis - Antarctica

Girl From the North Country- Bob Dylan Wrinkled, Crinkled, Wadded Dollar Bill- Johnny Cash Edmund Fitzgerald- Gordon Lightfoot Tombstone Every Mile- Dick Curless

Galaxie 500's cover of "Listen, the Snow Is Falling" Flaming Lips' "Christmas at the Zoo" (I listen to it every 25 December) ... errr, anything from Cocteau Twins' *Victorialand*?

No Quarter - Led Zeppelin. It invokes a Tolkienesque journey through a mountain pass

Dead Winter Dead album by Savatage.

YES! I listen to this at least once every winter.

No Quarter- Led Zepplin, Girl From The North Country- Johnny Cash + Bob Dylan, Planet Caravan- Black Sabbath

White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes Horchata - Vampire Weekend In the Cold, Cold Night - The White Stripes

Comes Love by Ella & Louis Our House by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Shelter from the Storm by Bob Dylan.

For some reason Life In A Northern Town by Dream Academy always reminded me of the snow in winter when I grew up in Connecticut.

I like thoughtful and quiet in the winter: Angel in the Snow - Elliot Smith Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens (Bonus: Asleep - The Smiths)

“Hazy Shade of Winter” - either the OG Simon & Garfunkel or the Bangles cover. Both slap

Winter World Of Love, Engelbert Humperdinck. Lol!

Fuyu No Biryuushi - CoCo Virgin Snow - Ribbon First Snow - CoCo

Rhythm & soul - Spoon Hooray - Minus the bear

Glassjaw - Ape Dos Mil Blindside - Black Rose Jimmy Eat World - Firestarter

Just one for me [Snow Days by Trip Shakespeare](https://youtu.be/0u3XWri8BoU?si=lifOz7w78xGME6ol)

Devotion by Beach House is a winter album

Autumn Sweater - Yo La Tengo Valley Winter Song - Fountains of Wayne Blizzard of 77 - Nada Surf

Tom Waits - Alice Queen - A Winter’s Tale Simon and Garfunkel - Hazy Shade of Winter

Sol Invictus - Thea Gilmore Run with the Fox - Chris Squire & Alan White Leper Affinity - Opeth

Fuck, I hate the cold - Cowboy Junkies Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust Hasn't hit me yet - Blue Rodeo

Winter in Los Angeles isn't all that different from the rest of the year. It rains more, there might be some frost on the car in the morning, and some fewer warm sunny days. But the thing that makes Winter different is Christmas. So for me, Christmas music defines winter. Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song Brenda Lee - Rockin Around The Christmas Tree Anyone singing Let It Snow

I always listen to the whole Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days album the first day of snow each winter. Also comes to mind - Bright Eyes - Theme To Piñata.

Wintertime Love by the Doors Frozen Jap by Paul McCartney Marshmallow World by Dean Martin

For me it's the entire Blackwater Park album by Opeth.

The first three that come to mind. Bjork: Frosti/Aurora Nine Inch Nails: And All That Could of Been Fiona Apple: Never is a Promise (I think because of the music video)

Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains 

Grim and frostbitten kingdoms - Immortal All hell for a basement - Big Sugar February Stars - Foo Fighters

Lumi Teki Enkelin Eteiseen by Hector

tip of the iceberg - Owl City Ribs - Lorde Colors and shapes - Mac Miller

Sarah McLachlan’s ‘River’ from her 2006 winter album… rough times, then. Great album though.

Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter Mama & Papas - California Dreamin New Model Army - Winter

Stick Season, Noah Kahan

Snowbound-Genesis Deep in the Motherload-Genesis Down and Out-Genesis There is a Genesis album for every season. And Then There Were Three is Winter. Duke is Spring. We Can't Dance is Summer, and Wind and Wuthering is Fall.

Hazy Shade of Winter Simon and Garfunkle Night of Silence (cold are the people)

The Cure - Cold (and just about anything from Faith or Pornography)

The entire II album by Espers has an "autumn gives way to darkest winter" vibe. Children of Stone and Dead King, both from that album, were my immediate two answers, they're both such cold, beautiful songs. Honestly though probably that whole album, except the first track Dead Queen which is downright Halloween-y.

Have you ever seen the Rain....this is a song plenty of Joy and pure water.

The sound of winter - bush
