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?

My town also has a station that converts to "Christmas Music" after Thanksgiving, but plays mostly "celebrity" psuedo-Christmas songs, so I don't have it on very much. At the serious risk of getting flamed, among my least favorites that this station plays constantly (like once every two or three hours) are:

"So This Is Christmas"
"Last Christmas" (how this gets classified as a Christmas song is beyond me)
"Wonderful Christmastime" (now I know I'm going to get flamed -- I'm dissing Paul McCartney)
"Do They Know Its Christmas?"
