I don't usually listen to Christmas music during the holidays but my mother does and of the ones she likes to listen to I love Perry Como...Brilliant voice...I listen to him singing Ave Maria and O' Holy Night. Two of my favorite Christmas songs.

Asta!!

Some great christmass-y tunes on that

I love the last three songs on the Love Actually soundtrack: Otis Redding's version of "White Christmas," Bill Nighy singing "Christmas Is All Around" and "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Olivia Olson. Good stuff.

some christmas music is hard to bear. i can't make any sort of conclusion regarding kwanzaa music. but here are some selections:

vince guaraldi trio - charlie brown christmas



apparently amazon is having a sale. music is good though, fairly unobtrusive.


john waters christmas



haven't really heard this, but somehow it is currently ranked #17 on amazon.




let's forget about amazon for a second, here's some more seasonal songs:

dandy warhols - every day should be a holiday
air - new star in the sky
interpol - say hello to the angels
beck - little drum machine boy
massive attack - angel
amon tobin - toys
nick drake - hanging on a star
beck - halo of gold
spiritualized - lord can you hear me
my morning jacket - xmas curtain
curtis mayfield - little child running wild
modest mouse - jesus christ was an only child
shins - young pilgrims

Exhumed - No Presents For Christmas

That's it - working in retail has ruined Christmas, the Christmas spirit, and Christmas music for me.

I feel for you. I hate going into Macy's or another retail store and hearing Christmas songs at the end of October.

I worked in a small mom-and-pop toy store growing up, and I lived for Christmastime because I got to choose all the music - so it kept it lively for me.

to echo the above:

i was sitting in a retail outlet this weekend.
i had to listen to house versions of various xmas carols.
a house o little town of bethlehem, a house o holy night...
it was really foul.
i dislike most xmas music--the effects of saturation are not pretty, and i have long since reached that point.
whence der blutarsch, which for some reason has crept into my general life playlist this xmas season.

As much as I complain about how much I detest Christmas, I actually do love Christmas music... but with a few exceptions, I like the standards

A Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi Trio
Brenda Lee -- Rockin' around the christmas tree
Perry Como, Dean-o Martin, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole's Chestnuts...

And it's not christmas unless Luciano Pavarotti is serenading me with O Holy Night and Ave Maria... two of my most favorite songs --- ever...

I absolutely cannot stand christmas songs... I've always hated them. They're cheesy.

Right now I'm listening to Nirvana, Pantera, and Tool. That's my christmas music.

Oh...I forgot my perennial favorite: the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky...of course I listen to it year-round, so Christmas makes little or no difference to me.
