But one peculiar thing I don't get is why some in the music business feel its needed or necessary to jump in the season and grace us with a Christmas CD . Having worked in a CD store I sampled them all . So here are a few that have made my head take a double shake.
- Twisted Sister - Twisted Christmas - Aging glam rockers ,power chording to Carols .
- We Wish You a Hairy Christmas - Hair metal bands singing cheesy songs , dreadful .
- Barry Manilow - Who in thier right mind would want any Manilow ?
- Mariah Carey - Screaming out not 1 but 2 Christmas albums .Aren't we blessed!
- Celine Dion - Over the top and annoying , what more can I say.
- Rap Music - There were a few and man if my ears could bleed.
- Twangy Country - Too many to list , but the nasal sound of some of them singing Silent Night ,made wish it was.
- N-Sync - Do I have to even comment . Boy band ,Annoying!
- Neil Diamond - This one is hard to fathom. Its just plain . No energy or fun . Well it is Neil Diamond.
- Sting - If there is any more pretentious artist to release a Christmas CD , I don't know . Until Bono releases one ,Sting is the king .
10 is a good number to end on but honorable mention has to go to Rob Halford of the heavy metal band Judas Priest . Black leather and Christmas , I don't know what to say.
I'm sure the oddities will not stop . It seems everyone and their cat must release a Christmas album. Why , I do not know. Some are great , and will become classics . I truly love Josh Grobans release last year but many should just sing the Christmas tunes in the shower. Plus the bottom line is , if you don't really believe Jesus is the Son of God who came to die for your sins on a cross and was raised again , don't sing about Him . A pet peeve of mine . Now for some eggnog and Bing....
