Where's "Homo Christmas" by Pansy Division? Can't let the holiday season pass by without playing that one.

I've not gone into Christmas mode myself yet but the guy I look after at work has his Max Bygraves Singalonga Christmas video on heavy rotation

Iam gonna listen to:-

Alexander o neal's
Boyz to men's
and.....


New kids on the block's christmas album come early december.....

These are what I'll be listening to next month:







I hate traditional carols.

I'm just waiting for the day after Thanksgiving to pull out my Christmas jams while I decorate the tree.

Some of my favorites are:

This Christmas - Donny Hathaway
That's What Christmas Means To Me - Stevie Wonder
Gee Whiz, It's Christmas - Carla Thomas
Jingle Bells - Booker T and the MGs
What Do The Lonely Do At Christmas - The Emotions
Christmas Time Is Here - Grover Washington, Jr.
Another Lonely Christmas - Prince
Christmas Rappin' - Kurtis Blow
Silent Night - The Temptations
Dear Santa - The Weather Girls
Santa Baby - Eartha Kitt
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - The Jackson 5

I've got lots more but I'd have to pull them out to refresh my memory.

There are two Christmas songs that I don't have that I am still looking for:

Santa Claus Is A Black Man - (Don't know the artist)
Jingle Bells - (Don't know the artist but it is dogs barking out the song)

My tracklist went very well... I included one bonus track at the end

"You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch"


then I thought about it later and removed it.

not until after Thanksgiving.

My favorite is The Roches Christmas CD. Great harmonies.

I'm serious about this. If anyone wants to hear a truly beautiful and addictive Christmas album, check out George Winston's "December". You'll return to it every year. His "Linus & Lucy" album is also strangely fitting during the holidays.

good call! that is a nice listen.

Cool! Somebody actually knows this.

John Denver and the Muppets are always a holiday favorite.

Oh for sure!

"If you haven't got a penny a hey-penny will do. And if you haven't got a hey-penny then God bless you!"

btw, I can't believe those UK artists only JUST re-recorded "do they know it's christmas?" this weekend. Do THEY know it's Christmas? That shit should have hit the stores already!

anyone who wants some good Christmas music... seriously..

check out THE ROCHES - WE Three Kings

It is an amazing holiday album... unbelievable harmonies. We play it every year. it's been out for about a decade i think but i think it's still inprint.

If you don't have these on your list...

The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
Merry Christmas Baby - Otis Redding
Backdoor Santa - Clarence Carter
Run Rudolph Run - Chuck Berry
Christmas in Hollis - Run DMC
Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto - James Brown
Another Lonely Christmas - Prince
Have Your Self a Merry Little Christmas - Luther Vandross
Please Come Home For Christmas - Charles Brown
This Christmas - Donny Hathaway

...there's a hole in your soul.

I picked up this dodgy looking collection just this year:



I knew I was supposed to have "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto". Man, that collection turned to be alright... and had a varied selection of Christmas songs 1966-1970

theAudience said:

hehe that's the sample in "Christmas In Hollis"

Does anyone remember Bill Cosby's "I'm Your Santa Claus Baby"?

CinisterCee said:

It's amazing how many good albums he's got out where the cover is just dreadful.

I've made a tradition of playing Joni Mitchell's Blue in full, every Christmas Eve.

Oh and you gotta play Another Lonely Christmas too.

theAudience said:

you know i really like how the whispers did "this christmas" over. but i think it's titled "a song for donnie.." i'm sure you know anyway

The only Christmas song I've played lately is Prince's "Another Lonely Christmas" because I've been digging into a lot of the Purple Rain stuff lately.

I hosted a Christmas show on the radio a couple years ago full of punk rock Christmas tunes -- there's a lot of good ones! All the other Christmas stuff kinda bums me out, so the more upbeat the music the merrier I be!

MrSquiggle said:

Especially "River" -- wow, that's a powerful song -- even speaks of Christmas. Hard to hear that without shedding a tear by the end. Beautiful.

edit: oops, i shared too much
