Great Christmas Music Suggestions?

[heavyd]

I've been listening to the same 10 Christmas cd's for years. I love them all, but need some new stuff. What are you guys listening to? Any must-hear discs or groups? Does anyone have some suggestions? I like all types of music...From Metallica to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and everything in between Thanks

"oi to the world", the vandals (no doubt as well).

"lonely christmas" and "horray for santa claus", sloppy seconds.

"christmas in hollis", RUN DMC.

One of my all time favorites and a new gem from DMX

I have Pandora One ($36 per year) on my Chromebook. I like it, but I don't love it. Too few holiday selections and you're at their mercy with play selection.

So glad somebody posted the DMX video.
Also, my personal favorite (nsfw):

Whoever made the video butchered some lyrics, but whatever.

If this doesn't get you into the holiday spirit...nothing will. We play this and have all of the CD's...Mannheim Steamroller

I like the album "Christmas Offerings" by Third Day.

I'm pretty old school:

"The Andy Williams Christmas Album"
"A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra"
"Bing Crosby's Christmas Classics"
"Ella (Fitgerald) Wishes You a Swingin' Christmas"
Dean Martin - "My Kind of Christmas"
"A Christmas Gift for you from Phil Spector"

and for the fans of symphonic stuff:
"Carols for Brass" - The Galliard Brass Ensemble

I don't listen to a ton of Christmas music but I do make it a point to listen to Sufjan Stevens 5 Disc set "Songs for Christmas." AMAZING. I also listen to Amy Grant's "A Christmas Album" but that is mainly for nostalgic reasons. My mom overplayed that from Thanksgiving to Christmas when I was growing up.

I would recommend the Christmas stuff from TSO. You can also never go wrong with the best Xmas song ever, Mistress for Christmas by AC/DC.

Christmas by Elvis 50 super hits.
Christmas by Michael Buble 2011
2 great party albums for back round music. I'll listen to them anytime during the season though.
