It’s a known fact, women love Christmas music. It’s also another known fact that most Christmas music sucks..hard STD infected cock. Christmas music wasn’t always bad though, but the last 40 years of it would make you think different. Here is a small list of albums you can listen to with your girl this Christmas and not have to hate every second of your life.
3. A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector (1963)
He may have killed a chick and even pistol whipped Leonard Cohen, but damn can that guy make records. (I even liked what he did to the Beatles “Let It Be” album). If you like 1950′s/60′s girl groups with high octane over the top production, you won’t be disappointed.
2. Elvis Presley – Elvis’ Christmas Album (1957)
Recorded at the peak of his early career, it doesn’t get much better than the King singing Christmas classics with other Rock and Roll Christmas songs written specfically for him (“Blue Christmas”, “Santa Claus Is Back In Town”, “Santa Bring My Back To Me”). You also get a whole side of gospel songs. Jesus (and you) will love this album.
1. Frank Sinatra – A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra (1957)
Ol’ Blue eyes loved Christmas more than little kids love Santa. He’s got one of the best voices of all time to pull it off and this album absolutely shines. Fans of the cocky, drunk, smug Sinatra with power punch brass section may be a little let down. These songs are mostly, slomen, reflective, and spiritual takes on Christmas standards like “The First Noel”, “Silent Night”, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”. To me this is the essence and sound of Christmas. NOT Faith Hill and that other bull shit they try to pass off now a days.
Wow. Very shocked and surprised the Beach Boys Christmas Album didn’t make your list of three. It should be more of selection of albums instead of a list as you named it.
I actually have heard very good things about the Beach Boys Christmas Album, but alas, I have never had the chance to hear it. So I decided it wouldn’t be right for me to include. I will have to track it down and give a listen.
