Christmas Songs Your Least and Most Favorite

[El_Burro]

You had me till the last two. Relaxed, enjoying and then WTF!!! Still great choices.

Thanks, and sorry for the switch. I don't have ADD, but my musical tastes tend to run amok. I have to feed my iPod mood stabilisers to keep it running.

So that's the secret! I've gone through two iPods because I've had Olivia Newton John and Marianne Faithfull as well as Julie Andrews and Warren Zevon downloaded.

I like to chalk it up to regional dialects.

BTW, love your 'cure for tourettes' tagline.

Piss biscuits!

I can never have just one favourite, so here's my list:




"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" Loreena McKennitt creating a 'Xmas in Morocco' mood
Loreena McKennit - GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN - YouTube

This is now my favourite version of this carol. I love the unusual mix of a celtic carol with middle eastern instrumentals and the beautiful vocals.

Not a song but someone sent me this last year in e-mail and it tickled me. THE DIGITAL STORY OF THE NATIVITY - YouTube

My least favorite Christmas song has to be JINGLE BELL ROCK. Gag me with a sock. Bleh.

My favorite is the little drummer boy. Gag me with a cock.

Jingle Bells must be the single most brain-destroying song ever invented. To call it "stupid" is almost an insult to stupidity. What amazes me is that people keep finding ways to make it even stupider, by adding syncopations, ornaments, and so on. When I hear it in a store, I often stick my fingers in my ears and start humming, or flee the joint if the exit is nearby.

I use to like the "Batman smells" version. :redface:

 

[MASSIVEPKGO_CHUCK]

Oh, Holy night is the least. Primarily because we had to do that song for sixth grade xmas show. Well, we had a lunatic of a music teacher, who HAD to be an ex symphony conductor, and would scream at the slightest infraction that did not please him.

 

[798686]

'Santa Claus is Comin to Town' - Don't bother.
'A Wonderful Christmas Time' - Dreary.
'All I Want For Christmas' - NO!

'Fairytale of New York' is about the best, I reckon.
Altho that Shakin Stevens one is quite cheery.

I grant you that that version does something to make up for the aesthetic offenses of the original. I would also make some concession for the barking-dog version, as it seems to me at least conscious of its own stupidity.

Update: I am sure it is listed already somewhere in this thread, but I just came to the conclusion that ALL versions of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" are equally abhorrent.

 

[Novaboy]

Can't believe that no one has mentioned that horrible country song from a few years ago called something like "The Christmas Shoes" or some such thing. Makes me gag.

Not really Chirstmas, but it's on her Winter CD "Journey of the Angels" Enya is beautiful.
