I love Rudess' piano work. Unfortunately that one doesn't seem available for digital download anywhere

They just released Christmas Sky on cdbaby.com if interested

I actually love classic Christmas-songs, not any particular i could point out, but my dad has some CD that's pretty much a collection of many different songs, sung by different artists, which is enough to get me into the Christmas-spirit.

Apart from that i'd say Opeth and Agalloch has a few songs that would fit under the "winter-feeling", like "Falling Snow" (by Agalloch) and "Advent" (by Opeth) just to mention two songs.

I have both, they are fantastic.  Al Di Meola's version of Carol Of The Bells is stunning.

I forget which one it's on, but Jeff Beck's version of Amazing Grace is beautiful.

Twisted Sister - A Twisted Christmas

[hefdaddy42]

I forget which one it's on, but Jeff Beck's version of Amazing Grace is beautiful.

It's on the first one, and it's glorious.  Done with Beck playing slide, and I believe the London Philharmonic Choir (or something like that) doing vocalizations/chants, not the lyrics.
