Title: Awesome Christmas Music
Post by: Jrod on 10 Dec 2009, 10:09

So I've been getting tired of the yuletide standards... I figure this can be a good thread to share some of the more interesting Christmas mixes. I guess we can talk about favorite albums or share some really cool ones maybe??

I for one have been listening a lot to Twisted Christmas by Twisted Sister, and a Very Scary Solstice, the HP Lovecraft Christmas album. I've heard good things about Mistletoe Lounge, which is "chillout" Christmas music. I also like George Winston's solo piano album December. Pretty nice wintery music for sure!

Anyone else have cool Christmas tunes?

Honestly, I still love the old standard of Vince Guaraldi's "Charlie Brown Christmas."  Also, Handel's "Messiah" is a Christmas tradition in my family (and in most symphony orchestras).

Joshua Jame's album Fields and Floods is a good folksy album. It's very melancholy, which I love for winter.

This is his original, Winter Storm:

Sufjan Stevens and Stevie Wonder have some good Christmas music to listen to.  I much prefer listening to songs actually about the hobo family, though.  The Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLaughlin's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen tickles my fancy.

You can't have a holiday season without the Pogues. You need to go listen to A Fairy Tale of New York.

Another pre-requisite is Nick Cave and Tom Waits singing Christmas Sucks.

When Bob Dylan says "I'll be home for christmas." it sounds like a threat.

And I have to go with Bing Crosby Christmas music.
What do you guys think of the Weezer Christmas album?
