Holiday Music

[Been Jammin]

Anyone else a sucker for holiday music? I look forward to this time of year so I can hear all of the holiday songs (even though I am Jewish). Now, I don't like all of the holiday songs, but there are quite a few that I really enjoy.
I remember when I was a kid, and I listened primarily to Rock 100 The KATT. I would always look forward to hearing Bruce Springsteen's version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Christmas Rapping by The Waitresses, Happy Xmas by John Lennon, Father Christmas by The Kinks, and many others.

Right now, I am listening to the "Rockin' Holiday Music" station on Pandora and hearing some of the above, plus many others. I like hearing different versions of Holiday classics (from random musicians) that I have never heard before, or haven't heard in years.

I love a lot of Christmas songs. Some, like O Holy Night, are high on my all-time greats list.

Been, if you like your carols jazzed up a bit, don't miss the Christmas special by the Brian Setzer Orchestra. It's been on a couple of times already and will be on again on vh1 and palladia a couple more times before Christmas.

They do a few Stray Cats and rockabilly covers with a rockabilly flair on the carols they do. Very good.

94.1 in Tulsa starts doing all Christmas music at Thanksgiving. My wife won't listen to anything else for the entire month.

I made a Spotify list of my favorite 100 "Special" Christmas songs.

I love Holiday music of all types.

They actually play a lot of Brian Setzer on the Pandora station I mentioned.

I didn't realize until I saw the special that the group has done three Christmas albums. Love me some Brian Setzer.

I can listen to Christmas music for a few days to make the wife and kids happy, but I don't really enjoy it.
