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.
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?
