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?

I recall the Ramones tried their hand at Christmas jingles. Or such classic's as,"I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus", or "Grandma got run-over by a reindeer"?......childhood traumatization.....elder medical trauma....Happy Holidays!! Maybe, Kelly Osbourne"s "SHUT UP"! Ok, that one's not Christmas specific.....

Everyone has an opinion, but I don't know what you're talking about. Her version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has become a modern Christmas classic since its release over a decade ago.

There is no debate the Carey can sing, maybe its more the structure that rub some wrong but you would have to be an idiot to not be impressed with notes she can and has hit.

I like the high pitched dolphin sounds she includes in a lot of her songs.
