Your favorite music over the holidays


I remember Christmas of 1968 very clearly. My best friend's dad had a Dynaco integrated tube set up, Dual turntable with Shure cartridge and big AR speakers. My friend got "The White Album" for Christmas and I spent as much time as possible at his house that vacation week while we listened and listened on his dad's system to that wonderful just-released double-record set. His parents' sitter also brought records over that vacation week and I got to stay over and hear for the first time "Are You Experienced" and "Cheap Thrills."

We were both in 6th grade and hooked on rock, Cream, Who, Beatles, Jefferson Airplane etc. And Zeppelin was just around the corner...

So those are "de rigeur" playing on vinyl for me over the holidays.

What are some of yours?

I am with Donjr on Charles Brown. Another great Christmas album is Bruce Cockburn's "Christmas". I get kind of burned out by the Musak carols constantly played at the grocery store. The Cockburn album is just acoustic guitar and refreshing.
