Saw the BSO Christmas concert at the 9:30 Club in DC back in 2005. He puts on a kickass show


He's a poster child for ADD. He's a seriously underrated guitarist.



have not had the chance to see him as BSO, yet,

but did see the Stray Cats back in the early 80's
fantastic show then

“A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector”.

Forget for a moment he was a psycho, abusive, murdering nut job. If you can separate the Artist from the Man, this is a top 5 Christmas album.

Darlene Love and The Ronettes are brilliant.

I just listened to that one. It is good music.

My favorite Christmas song is Mel Torme's version of "The Christmas Song." He was one of the greatest singers ever.

My Christmas playlist is the old standards--mostly Dean Martin and Bing Crosby with a dash of Judy Garland, Perry Como, and Sinatra.

I also like the Glenn Miller Orchestra Christmas albums.

The US Air Force Airmen of Note has done some great Christmas stuff. I enjoyed a lot of their Cool Yule album--I particularly like their version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."

As a side note, there's a lot of great music available from the various Air Force bands available at this link. Some of the albums are available for download, too.

"The Christmas Album" featuring Virgil Fox on the pipe organ. Two of the tracks feature a soprano Louise Natale, and they are awesome. "The Virgin's Slumber Song" by Max Reger is worth the price of the album.

It seems like besides the Peanuts soundtracks, Vince Guaraldi has been pretty much forgotten except by a few music nerds and jazz lovers. It’s really a shame, he wasn’t just a great pianist, his compositions and arrangements were so unique and creative. I find his work really compelling.

I should hope so, as he (co-)wrote the song.

I dont have a favorite album but my favorite song is the duet of Bing Crosby and David Bowie performing the Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth.

Another for Christmas Eve and Other Stories - Trans Siberian Orchestra. Terrific! Especially while biking.

Not an album but how about Dream Theater’s cover of O Holy Night.

Merry Christmas Darling is a Christmas favorite of mine.




“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
