Christmas Music.

[bobjustbob]

I love it. It plays every waken moment in my place from October through January. Old standards. Some contemporary. Every artist has done them. Some better than others. What are your favorites by what artists. Which ones totally suck.

I fucking hate Christmas music. For 2½ months we're subjected to the same 20 songs over, and over, and over, and over again. The one I loathe above all others is the one about the most wonderful time of the year. It makes me wanna set kittens on fire.

On the other hand, Christmas is a good excuse to listen to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. :banger:

This is the only song you need to play at any Christmas gathering or on your own during the festive season.

I love christmas songs. But they shouldn't be played before...let's say...december! Actually they should just be played a few days around christmas. :thumbsup:

 

[Rezen]

Not a fan at all. When I worked retail and had to hear 3 or 4 versions of the same 15 songs over and over; I wanted to kill myself and harm others.

Christmas music is a torture.

See here in the bastard U bastard K all we get every cunting bastard year is Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody" it's played in most stores across the country. And you hear it on shows that are on during the festive season. It drives me mental. Repetitive pile of fucktard wank!.

August Burns Red - Carol of The Bells

That just sounds like a normal Metal instrumental with a couple of chimes at the start. Decent right enough. But not festive in sound. Mind you it's most festive in sound at the start than the whole of the song I nominated. But mine has lyrics that make it the winner ha ha lol.

As mentioned previously, I wouldn't normally mind Christmas songs...if I didn't have to hear them RIGHT AFTER HALLO-FUCKING-WEEN. I also find some of the songs themselves, while timeless, silly in imagery and ideas.

In all honesty though, I do get bothered that only Christmas songs are ever broadcast. Would it kill people to put on another religion's tunes? We Jews make just as good music as you Christians.

Well Carol of The Bells is a traditional Christmas song and I don't think it has vocals in it. What makes this song amazing is the unique style of drumming of Matt Greiner. Plus they're a Metalcore band and I don't think most people would like to hear screaming in a Christmas song (Personally I think it would be bad ass).

Christmas music is generally not very good, but this song is quite...atmospheric?

 

[bobjustbob]

Mayhem I hate you. That old fuck is 70 and still tours. Hot Tuna at The Beacon Theater in NY this weekend. Seen them in Poughkeepsie when in college. Stop making me look old.

Glad to see that even the ones that hate christmas music can still find ones that they don't mind. I'm sure if Silver Bells by Twisted Sister turned up in the mix at the mall it wouldn't be so bad.

i rather like it, believe it or not. as cynical as i am, christmas is my favourite holiday.

however, last night at whackmart, they were playing some awful new shit. i dont know what it was, but it was horrendous. one of them was like a chick rapping.

ill take the classics any day.


however, santa baby i hate.

 

[vodkazvictim]

Awful.
Christmas now has too little relation to the religion which fathered it.

I never want to hear Slade, Wizzard or Band Aid again. Plus my ex loved "All I Want For Christmas Is You" so that can fuck off too.

I am, however, partial to "Merry Christmas Everyone" by Shakin Stevens, "Early Christmas Morning" by Cyndi Lauper (God, please don't be a babe section link) and when tipsy and pulling crackers "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney. Although the Peter Serafinowicz parody version "Sexual Christmastime" is better.

But the king is "Last Christmas" by Wham. Bollocks to anything released in the last 20 years.

 

[GodsEmbryo]

I hate them. And I hate everything that's pushed constantly down my throat from November on to remind me how 'wonderful' Christmas is. In my previous job in a wholesale business we had to listen to this radio station playing this crap all day. On top of the usual crap they had this top 100 of Christmas songs and a contest who could make the best cover of Wham's 'Last Christmas'. Talking about torture...

 

[Sam Fisher]

Hate it....

There are 2 completely different songs titled,"All I Want For Christmas Is You". Vince Vance and The Valliants with Lisa Layne did theirs in 1989. Mariah Carey did hers in 1994. Trivia note: Both of these songs are the best selling songs for both artists. I like them both. But the Mariah with Bieber video is just disturbing. She is singing this to him with this look of love and she could be his Grandmother.
