Just Jack Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Which do you prefer? The classics sung by the likes of Bing Crosby? Or newer stuff like Wham!’s Last Christmas? Edited December 16, 2019 by Just Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 There's only one form of music that's worse than Christmas music (old AND new), and that's modern/new Country. Go ahead, roast me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Punk is Best! White Christmas by The Stiff Little Fingers By the way, to any who like Father Christmas by the Kinks, it is a song deriding Christmas presents and a protest against poverty, unions, corporations, etc. !

Nextmanup Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Answer C: Neither. Can't stand traditional schlocky Christmas music sung by Perry Como and the like. "I'm dreaming of a white christmas" or "home for the holidays" and all that stuff. I much prefer classical, traditional Christmas music. Bach's Weihnachtsoratorium is a great place to start for those who want to broaden their horizons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Generally not a fan of Christmas music, but a few years ago someone gave me The Jethro Tull Christmas Album and it's pretty good. If my wife requests Christmas music, that's what I put on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I voted classics, but there are plenty of modern Christmas tunes that I love. "Please Come Home For Christmas" - I prefer the Eagles version, but I also really like Bon Jovi's rendition. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" - Mariah Carey - always one of my favorite Christmas tunes. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" - Easily one of faves.

dpberr Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I like simple instrumental (piano, sax, a little drum) of the classics. I loathe that Paul McCartney Christmas song. Runner up is everything by Pentatonix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Me and the wife heard Taylor's version of the song and we felt it was horrible, she sped up the pace and sang it as it was a pop song.

Greybeard Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Nothing reminds me more of Christmas than this. Perhaps it was my constant listening to WKBW during the 60's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
