Piano Guys have great Christmas music

The GOAT (Sidenote: Also interesting reading about him playing to a segregated audience in College Station)



Also love me some Vince Gill Christmas:

The entire Sufjan Stevens album.

I turn on SiriusXM Holiday Traditions and let it play. I love the classic Christmas music

I always like throwing in a few rock band versions of Christmas songs.




And I like to support Trans musicians at this time of year:

I hate Christmas music after working many years in retail right out of college but Chris Cornell singing Ave Maria is one of the few Christmas songs I still absolutely love.

My favorite non-classic Christmas song is "Peace" by Michael McDonald.

If you need a laugh….
The Season's Upon Us by Dropkick Murphys

my hot take:

most overrated traditional Christmas singer: Dean Martin

Most underrated of the traditional singers: Tony Bennet

Nobody mentioned Paul McCartney yet?

Shawn Lee
A Very Ping Pong Christmas: Funky Treats from Santa's Bag

Pentatonix…really talented, but can only take their schtick in small doses. Having said that, 'Little Drummer Boy' by them is legit.

Pentatonix....I tried, I really tried. I could not do it.

2000 Miles - The Pretenders

The Nutcracker Suite by The Brian Setzer Orchestra. All the highlights without having to listen to the entire ballet.

Little Saint Nick and The Twelve Days of Christmas from John Denver and The Muppets: A Christmas Together.

My 2 favorite Christmas songs could not be further apart. Feliz Navidad and Last Christmas.
