Best Christmas Songs – If I Get Home on Christmas Day

Best Christmas Songs - If I Get Home On Christmas Day I missed posting about the best Christmas songs yesterday so here's the first of two for December 8. Elvis' "If I Get Home on Christmas Day," from the 1971 album Elvis Sings The Wonderful World of Christmas. If I Get Home On Christmas Day - Elvis What's Christmas without Elvis? Blue, I tell you. Blue. Although not as popular as his first Christmas album, the aptly named Elvis' Christmas [...]

Best Christmas Songs – Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin’

Best Christmas Songs - Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin' Making my 25 Days of Christmas Songs list, in which I count down what I think are the best Christmas songs, is Albert King's soulful R&B song "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'."

Best Christmas Songs – The Mynabirds

Best Christmas Songs - All I Want is Truth (for Christmas) Holy post-election depression, "All I Want is Truth (for Christmas)" by the Mynabirds is the perfect song to make it to my Best Christmas songs list. It's a lovely song about consumerism, warmongering, failed politics, willful ignorance and climate change. Topical? I think yes.

Best Christmas Songs -Slashed Wrists This Christmas

Best Christmas Songs -Slashed Wrists This Christmas Since Sunday is the worst day in the week for me,  I thought I'd post a song about suicide in my best Christmas songs list. For the third year in a row "Slashed Wrists This Christmas" is on my holiday playlist.  I mean, who doesn't like a Christmas song about suicide? Slashed Wrists This Christmas - Gruff Rhys Oh sure, the holidays are all holly and jolly but where are the songs for the manic depressants? The [...]

Best Christmas Songs – I Want An Alien For Christmas

Best Christmas Songs - I Want An Alien For Christmas Last year I wanted to put "I Want an Alien for Christmas" on my 25 Days of Best Christmas Songs but I got behind in my posting and it never made it. Sure, a song called "I Want an Alien for Christmas" has all the makings of a novelty song like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." But "Alien" is actually a song that you won't want to kill [...]

Best Christmas Songs – The Ramones

Best Christmas Songs - Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight) "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones is definitely on my 25 Days of Christmas Songs list. It's truly one of the best Christmas songs of my generation. And frankly, what Christmas song playlist is complete without a punk band on it. And what says Christmas better than a song that basically says, "Can we just make it through the holidays without killing each other?" Merry [...]

Best Christmas Songs – Lonely This Christmas

Best Christmas Songs - Lonely This Christmas I'm terribly behind on my 25 Days of Christmas Songs list. Today is "Lonely This Christmas" by Lucky Soul. Lonely This Christmas - Lucky Soul "Lonely This Christmas" is by Mud, an English Glam Rock band from the 1960's-70's. The songs came out in 1974 and reached the number one spot in the UK's Christmas Chart. The version by MUD sounds like a bad Elvis impersonator. I much prefer Lucky Soul's cover. Although I [...]

Best Christmas Songs – Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight)

Best Christmas Songs - Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight) "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones is definitely on my 25 Days of Christmas Songs list. Sure, Burl Ives has his place in any Christmas song playlist but a Christmas playlist is not complete without a punk band on it. And what says Christmas better than a song that basically says, "Can we just make it through the holidays without killing each other?"

Best Christmas Songs – Christmas is Cancelled

Best Christmas Songs - Christmas is Cancelled "Christmas is Cancelled" by The Long Blondes is my lucky 13th song of my 25 Days of Christmas song list. Christmas is Cancelled - The Long Blondes The Long Blondes formed in Sheffield, United Kingdom in 2003. Things were going really well for them until 2008 when songwriter and lead guitarist Dorian Cox suffered a massive stroke. He was 27, that weird age when a lot of musicians have passed on. Brian Jones, Jimi [...]
