Is there a good place to share modern Xmas songs across the Fediverse? (I'll lead off with a couple...) (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: Is there also a place for classic folk songs across the FV..?
Me, I've found three absolute corkers, all tackling the song "500 Miles." I find each version remarkably unique and moving in their own ways, but I'd rather unleash them upon the most-appropriate community, if that makes sense...

My top ten:

100 gecs — "Sympathy for the Grinch"
Andrea Perry — "Fat Aunt Bette"
The Primatives — "You Trashed My Christmas"
The Barbary Coasters — "I've Been Naughty (and Nice)"
Fountains of Wayne — "The Man in the Santa Suit"
The Killers — "Cowboys' Christmas Ball" (cover)
The Kinks — "Father Christmas"
Thomas Heinl — "Christmas Tree on Fire"
Emmy the Great — "Christmas Day (and I Wish I Was Surfing)"
The Reverend Horton Heat — "Santa Bring My Baby Back"

I'll try to loop back through and add non-spotify links as I can.
