NSFW (or much of anywhere else either)

Wasn't the Christmas season until you've seen Valby at the Penny Arcade in Rochester

It really depends upon the song.

As long as they forever banish that McCartney song (and the Lennon one, too for that matter), I'm happy.

Valby Christmas music if the best. Well done!

Unless you HATE the piano, Emile Pandolfi with his White Christmas CD is some of the most beautiful Christmas music you will ever hear.

Finger waving moment: why does Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time incite such vitriol? It's a happy holiday song, sung by an icon, aimed at an audience that still believes in Santa Claus. What kid doesn't like that song? 

 

A holiday favorite of mine crushed by the HS band a few years ago.

because it adds to the downside of his fluff and sappy stuff, you aren’t being introduced to this concept here, right?

It's a Christmas song. Christmas songs are fluffy and sappy. I'm cool with that. 

 

It does not add to his downside unless you were already there.

IMO... The best ones are winter/seasonal related.  Not necessarily dedicated solely to the Holidays:

(I believe a G.Lightfoot cover???)

(I believe a Joni Mitchell written song)

Special shout out to my special pals@Cripple Creek & @BringBackFergy .. Hey that sure looks like a canal, lock they are skating on... Must be the Rideau in Ottawa, Ontario... Right??? Quite a cool "skateway") ?  Canals & locks are so cool for many things!?

When I was a wee lad at Iroquois Middle School, we watched a movie called “Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates” (or something like that). Was a great movie. But it was set in Holland or Sweden (i.e. where the government doesn’t interfere with the natural beauty of inland waterways). As such, I can only hope that someday my great grandkids will be able to enjoy our rivers, canals and interstate waterways in the same fashion without interference from concrete walls and cozy huts housing gubment workers who sip cocoa and warm their socks on 80 degree propane heaters while barking out orders to civies.

I already fired my peace round with the Bing & Bowie collaboration... So I will just leave you with this:

Oh... But they (the government) do interfere in Scandinavia with concrete walls and huts:

I don’t need some pseudo-70’s disco tune claiming global awareness (while generating big corporate revenue) to tell me our canals and rivers should remain natural (untouched). Perhaps you G7’s and G6’s should take that into consideration before pouring concrete walls, towers and BBQ pits all along our once pristine shorelines.

so i can reject boomer tunes, says about as much about the two and their outlooks on things.... :D

 

 

 

I like Paul better than John.................But, when I had just thought about it a few weeks ago.  John may have the best Christmas song - and Paul the worst!

You conveniently overlooked my TROLLhättan (Sweden) pic. Figures.

 

Here's a classic... You're a mean one Mr.Ferguson:

and on the second Christmas season playing the worst song, John was murdered and Paul’s only public comment was a sneer that John’s death was “a drag” and both songs were played endlessly back to back.

 

Didn’t weigh well for this 14 year old Beatles fan at the time

A good mix of both is a luxury when its starting to sound like the same song on repeat. But the classics are the best. Merry Christmas!

1. I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg lake

2. Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) - The Darkness

3. Lonely This Christmas - Mudd

 

The only three you need this and every festive season.
