With this time being the Holiday Season, as anyone ever experienced that the one song you hate a lot is the one always played on the radios the most? |

No actually that song doesn't bother me so much. I had sing it in 5th grade.
It's actually one of the more religious songs but my family gets really pissed off I even dare make fun of it. |

I guess so. I'm more inclined to favor the songs more about Santa and winter than the religious ones for some reason. However Hark the Herald is one I like hearing on the religious side.
But Joy to the World is the one I hate hearing. I think having my parents as teachers makes it harder to make fun of too but I rather mock the the song. |

I like the old Christmas hymns based sole on the fact that they sound great belted out with as much bass as you can muster! _________________ I glared at the monkey in the kitchen.

I can only handle Christmas music in small doses. That's why I try to avoid shopping at all costs after Thanksgiving. _________________ I once stole an entire city and put it in my back pocket. |

Its a "made to be a tear jerker" class of song I rather like going to youtube videos of it just to read the comments of people bashing each other for either liking or disliking it. I do rather enjoy it but thats just me _________________ I glared at the monkey in the kitchen. It knew why I was The Monkey grabbed a knife.

When was this song written? I hate modern christmas songs. Gimme the classics... and by classics, I mean something written prior to 1970. _________________ Why aren't you reading UnCONventional (the awesome comic) yet? |

Yeah I'm not a fan of Christmas shoes either. I don't like thinking about someone's mother passing away. |

For one I would smack that boy for leaving the hospital where his mom is dying to wait in line for a pair of shoes that she'll wear for what maybe an hour before she's dead, and her son spent whatever money he had left on them?
I swear it was written as a ploy for you to go buy more crap, where the message should really be to stay by your love one's side, not go buy stupid shoes. _________________

This discussion was getting so epic it needed it's own thread.
And Cheesus, if it's a country song OF COURSE it involves doing something that seems nice, but at closer inspection is really stupid.
That's what country music is FOR. _________________ Why aren't you reading UnCONventional (the awesome comic) yet? |

While I can agree with that. Not all Country is bad still. I have a somewhat developed taste for some of the songs since I usually had to listen to it while I worked. |

Just to clarify it is what I classify as Pop country, not true country.
Also Transiberian orchestras "lost christmas eve" may be the most epic christmas album ever. _________________ I glared at the monkey in the kitchen. It knew why I was The Monkey grabbed a knife.

songs I dislike:
Baby It's Cold Outside
Santa Baby
Marshmallow World
Happiest Christmas Tree (yes, this is a song)
The only one that is my favorite (but I prefer a choral version) is Carol of the Bells. I do get a little teary eyed with one particular version of Little Drummer Boy, but that's only because it was my grandma's favorite and she passed away two years ago.
I though of course prefer the classics over the pop ones. Those just annoy me. |

There's some really good "pop" Christmas music out there--the Squirrel Nut Zippers did an entire Christmas album that I really enjoyed, plus who could forget The Vandals' "Oi to the World"? The BareNaked Ladies do some good Christmas songs, too, although I think they only do them live. And I once heard a chiptunes version of "Last Christmas" that was actually listenable. I'll see if I can dig that one up.
Totally going to agree with befu, though--Carol of the Bells is the best. _________________ I once stole an entire city and put it in my back pocket. |
