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?

Christmas music is one genre where my wife and I are both extremely biased towards the traditional versions of things I remember as a kid. I do not care for most newer versions of old standards.

Maybe if we were Christian that would help.

Bah humbug!

I still look forward to hearing the old standards again each year though by the time Xmas comes around I typically am ready to submit..

Hey , I heard a catchy hawaiian themed Christmas tune (name?) in the last few years on teh radio that I liked!

Aloha!
