Christmas Albums

Recommended Posts

It's the most wonderful time of the year....for some. Anyway, every year, we are bombarded with shitty Christmas albums. What Christmas album would you like to see get made, or at least mention one that could never get made.

I'll just say that Vince Guarlidi's Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is the greatest Christmas album ever. Nothign will ever match it.

The Phil Spector Christmas Album is absolutely great if you like every track showered with bells, horns, pianos, drums, etc. A real punchy album.

 

I picked up the Beach Boys Christmas Album and was a bit disappointed. Most of the orchestration wasn't done by Brian and the originals aren't particularly strong. Still, if you're bothered about the quality, you're obviously not enjoying Christmas enough.

If it's christmas music sung by anyone other than Elvis, I can't stand it.

A Very Merzbow Christmas-5 noise blasting pieces of dissonance to make you deaf for Christ!

V/Vm put out a christmas album that was pretty good. I wouldn't go listening to it though... I don't think anyone on this board is quite prepared to handle V/Vm.

You're pretty new, but yes, I supposed you might be. I think you'd agree they have to be built up to.

A Very Black Metal Christmas. THAT would sell.

Well, Aussie mp3 only "Black" Metal band By Dawn Cursed released an Xmas EP, it's sort of there.

I don't know if anyone is a fan of the Barenaked Ladies, but they released a Christmas Album Barenaked for the Holidays.

 

I enjoy it, but I'm a huge fan soo... my one problem is a lot of the good songs on it are done as instrumentals, no words at all... kind of disappointed me.

 

Other than that I like it a lot. Not to mention, for our Jewish members there is also 3 Channukah songs!
