Much of the standard radio is aweful. But, go back to the classics. Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, then throw in some of the major orchestras like the Boston Pops, add artists like James Taylor, Judy Collins and a little Charlie Brown and you can can get some pretty good Christmas music.
Bah Humbug-Bad Christmas Music
there is a radio station in my area which replaces their light rock format for the entire Decemeber for Xmas music 24/7--I keep it on all day on a small transister radio, so I have been hearing lots of it-
My conclusions, lots of good Xmas music, but amongst it of course, quite a few not to my taste----I find that it is best to stick as close to the original as possible, even if the artist themselves has their own signature---
My worst so far
-anything my Mariah Carey
-Transiberian Ochestra
-Barbara Mandrell-Must have been the mistletoe
-a track by the band Chicago didn't cut it for me
-the Glee cast did a remake of Last Christmas by Wham!,-I like the original, the Glee remake is terrible.
On a positive note, I have never been a Barbara Streisand fan--but love her version of My Favorite Things
Your hit list?
