Here it is! It's the big end-of-the-year Fan Favorites Episode...for the 2nd year in a row...celebrating your favorite music and musicians.

The 12 songs included in this countdown were all submitted by Patreon members and upvoted on Discord for much of November. We then moved the top 20 submissions to a poll here on Patreon, and now we're counting down the top 12. This is an eclectic mix of music and musical styles, and I'm so pleased to offer this to you all.

Thanks for all of your support and participation this year! Can't wait to start this series up again in January!

The 12 Songs of Dougmas Vol. II - Fan Favorites Ep. 21

I click on it. And it says something's wrong on vimeo.

Adrian Goodrich

The Greg Lake song is the original. As released on single. Best Christmas song of all time IMO. I was blown away when I first heard this, on the day of release.

Adrian Goodrich

Blood on the Rooftops - I saw Steve's band perform this live on a later tour. Tony Banks - never Steve's biggest fan - thought this was Steve's best composition for Genesis. It went down a real storm on the tour - everyone absolutely loved it!

Adrian Goodrich

The last two tracks, it is from the final line of the book: "I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath, and hare-bells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth." IMO one of the best final lines in literature, especially knowing the context. And I live within walking distance of Haworth, where the Bronte sisters lived, and have often walked from there up to Top Withins, high on the lonely moor and often claimed as the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. The words, the music, the location and views across the wild and windy moors - all go together so perfectly!

Yes it says "Because of privacy settings, your video cannot be played here" when opening the link on mobile

Adrian Goodrich

Assault and Battery - if you don't already know, " Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time." are from Longfellow's IMO great poem "Footprints on the Sands of Time". I love it when rock bands tribute the classics! Loved this video, Doug!

Matthew Hackbert

it wouldn't load for me on mobile, but I was able to open it on desktop fine. I added to my Vimeo Watch Later and now I can see it on vimeo app

Pam Norris

It worked for me on my phone FYI. This is an amazing FF! I’m loving Hawkwind and Strawbs so much, two bands I need to get into more. Note that almost entirely bands of the 60s and 70s, except for Goodman, Holdsworth and Elfman entries. That was the best era for music in my humble opinion.

Chris Gadsby

1 a day until Christmas or binge listen now?

Allen

The Strawbs's "From the Witchwood" has some great piano work by Rick Wakeman. Maybe put up in a future poll (entire album)?

Gary Thobaben

W&W is my favorite Genesis record and the second half is the best part of it! You see what we all see! I only wish there were 5x records that all felt like that one does.

Adrian Goodrich

The majority here is British music from the classic era. I was privileged to have been there, as a young guy, when this great music was first released, and to have much of what Doug played still on the original vinyl. If only it was like that now!

Michel Paré

What a great ride !!!thanks doug for this beautiful video… 2 hrs of pure joy…

Rebecca Walsh

I really enjoyed listening and watching this episodes. I do hope you do Genesis "Wind and Wuthering" as it is one of my many favorites by them. There are some other fun songs on the album and these songs will just give you a knowledgeable flavoring of what is to come. Besides, this album has grown on me and just gets better with every listening.

Andrew Marsh

Wouldn't you know it? I happen to be listening to Wind and Wuthering in my car just today. To be honest, I tend toward Trick Of The Tail as more of a favorite, but slightly. Wind and Wuthering is a definite Extended Play candidate. I've seen Steve Hackett 2x now, but he never did Blood on the Rooftops. Genesis did play Unquiet Slumbers/In that Quiet earth in concert, and it would lead into other songs. They played it once in 1982 where it led into the 2nd half of Supper's Ready!

Alex Libia

Mine says I can view in my location

TheSoundOfWhiteNoise

That was great! Thank you Doug for the fantastic video and great analysis, and thank you for everyone that submitted the tracks, you all chose some banger songs!

Paul Hoyle

Hi Doug...you definitely need to do more Hawkwind if not an entire album or two (Levitation, Hall of the Mountain Grill or the entire Warrior on the Edge of Time album...PLEASE!!

Paul Hoyle

Hi Doug....I have watched the Nightmare Before Christmas since it was orignally released by back in 1993 (yes it's 20 year old!!). The music and lyrics were by Danny Elfman and he sings the parts of Jack in the film/soundtrack. Also, please do more Hawkwind...definitely a full album review of either Warrior on the Edge of Time; Levitation or the excellent Hall of the Mountain Grill...PLEASE!!

Paul Hoyle

Genesis' Wind & Wuthering is probably one of the greatest albums you have not managed to do an extended play lounge on Doug, along with A Trick of the Tail and ...an then there where three..., please can you do these at some stage in 2024?

Paul Hoyle

...how could the lady that recommended the final number 1 track of Dougness by Genesis not include Afterglow?...it's a must follow on from Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers.../...In That Quiet Earth...that's like havign Turkey for Christmas with no trimmings...you just don't do that!! I can't wait for you to do EPL on W&W. Happy Christmas Doug, Megan and everyone else.

Paul Hoyle

...sorry I forgot John too...Merry Christmas John.

Boring Postcards

Fantastic and fun as always. Happy holidays Doug, and to all of you regulars- may the new year be bright.

Scot Poland

Lots of great music by Strawbs, but the clear candidate for an extended play is Grave New World.

Make Latvanen

A great session, thanks Doug! A bit more ELO in the future? Yes please - there is so much interesting stuff on their earlier albums (1973-75), preceding their radio hits era, to dig into... And thanks also for I Believe in Father Xmas, I love that one to bits ❤️

Anderson Davies

What's This?! - Danny Elfman: music, lyrics AND fabulous singing (singer, composer rhythm g of Oingo Bingo) all music's orchestral arrangements by Steve Bartek (very unique lead g of Oingo Boingo, very likely 2m high). Dare to take a full Oingo Boingo Album on, best choose one of the first three (Lad, Fear, or Soul).

Don Mal 1

"love" is a two-way street, here.....the love we have for this family and the love we have for music.........again.....another great year.....!!!

Russell L. Craft

When you finally do "Wing and Wuthering", you'll notice that the whole album is actually a classical "theme and variations".

Terence colin Shortman

Happy Christmas Hawkwinds third album was called Doremi Fasol Latido funny you should mention Do Ra Mi They are still playing and recording over thirty albums Now

HeadStart

PhlakMagnet is my Discord ID. The version I linked to you, I’m pretty sure, was the original single release. (This is the Works 2 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9z-X3_lEG0). The notation info you found was flopped. (<—>). Unfortunately, it wasn’t until The Best of Emerson, Lake and Palmer (in 1995) that I actually heard how magnificent Grag’s single was as the single that I had procured was stamped so off center that the ending quavered by almost a full semitone. :P As for the piece itself my impression is that the writer MAY have been disillusioned by the hype, commercialization, the resulting conflicts surrounding ideologica differences and such, but realized, “The Christmas we get we deserve… “ And that realization engouraged, “I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave new year All anguish, pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear” So that the the, The Christmas you get, you deserve.” I was called away after I recommended the piece. Otherwise I would have written something. As it stands, my son was devastated by missing his schoolbus, or some other thing… Merry Christmas, And THANKS for a really wonderful ‘cast!

Jim Reeves

Hallelujah for Wind and Wuthering, it's about time you dig into this Genesis era Dr. Doug!

Dave Cohen

There is a great live version of "I Believe in Father Christmas" from St. Bride's Church in London with Greg on acoustic guitar, featuring Ian Anderson on flute, as well as the church's choir. To be found on Youtube.

Steve Hartke

What a fun 2 hours!! And one of my songs got chosen!! I’ll try and supply more notes next time!! God Save The Kinks!! Really enjoyed Strawbs, have to go find your other reactions to them!! Allan Holdsworth is an acquired taste. You were right on his chordal structures, very distinctive. Saw him live a few times in the early 80’s! Amazing… Recommend listens: his EP Road Games, Bruford - One of a Kind and Jean-Luc Ponty - Enigmatic Ocean (would be a great EPL!!) Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday to all!! ✌️

John Barnett

I suggest Zappa's Hot Rats for an extended play. 'Willie' is great. but 'Gumbo Variations' would be the one piece of music I'd take with me if I could only take one piece of music with me if stranded on a desert island… or maybe Beethoven's 7th.

Daniel Mora

Hi Doug! Great reactions! I'm just about 1 1/2 months later hehe... just wanted to comment that Unquiet Slumbers/In that quiet earth and Afterglow they all segue into each other forming a "mini-epic" and I think they are needed to be listened all together because of how the dynamics work in all the pieces (they mimic the dynamics of the last two or three sections of Supper's ready). Without Afterglow you don't get really a convincing resolution for the aforementioned pieces, and listening Afterglow alone, well... seems to me kind of insipid without the preceeding pieces. Hope you can listened to them as a whole when you get to the full Wind and Wuthering album! Cheers!
