Classic Christmas Tunes 170, 171, 172, 173,174,175, 176, 177 & 178 - Band Aid 30, Band Aid 20, Band Aid II, Band Aid, TV Allstars, Vibration Allstars, Far, Ft. Chino Moreno, Pete Yorn, & A Parody - Do They Know It’s Christmas?

Here is fabulous update to a definite Gold standard. This is the updated 30th anniversary version of the superstar performance.Although most people do not, I may prefer it to the original. Well worth listening to.


There was also a 20th anniiversary version. See which version you prefer.
Also here is a variation

There was even a Band Aid II version from 1989.

Most people,naturally, seem to prefer the original 1984 version.

Some people actually prefer the version done by the TV Allstars

Here is a really different upbeat version performed by another batch of Allstars. This time it is the Vibration Allstars

Here is an amazing version performed bt Far ft.Chino Moreno. It seems to have the power and reckless abandon that the song really requires.

Perhaps, my favorite is the one actually done by Pete Yorn. It takes a more straight forward approach yet still manages to build to a glorious crescendo.
Some people even came up with a Parody version
Here is further info about the original version from the song's co-writer
