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

If you like jazz, there is a great Blue Note compilation called Yule Struttin'. If you are a classical music fan, I can give lots of good recommendations.
Try to find " Star O Wonder " by Tingstad and Rumbel. Beautiful,interesting renditions and audiophile sound.
Reviving an older thread to see how much worse it got, well, it did.

There's a time and place for everything.

Mariah Carey wearing a little slutty Santa suit dancing like a stripper in another of the boring mass videos, great stuff for the entire family.

This is what happens when you take the CHRIST out of Christmas.
