KevinG Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 In my never end question to find holiday music that doesn't completely nauseate me, I am turning to VC, in efforts to find some good tunes. So here is the deal, create your holiday mix. And by Holiday, I mean any and all of the holidays that fall between the end of November and the end of December. Upload 'em to yousendit.com; and then post the corresponding link in this thread. You can post your holiday mix until the day after Thanksgiving. Let me know if you are thinking about this, and I look forward to your mix. If you have any question feel free to PM me. Bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I always enjoy this, and I've gotten some great holiday tunes from VC over the years. Thanks for getting this started for this year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A couple of weeks until after thanksgiving? Isn't that Christmas? I need some cool mixes to combat the Josh Groban Christmas album that my mother in-law has been playing. I'll have my attempt by the end of the week one hopes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakobnicholas Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thanks for the Holiday Mix! That's a very nice compilation. Couple of my faves: - "Fat Daddy" by an artist of the same name on the John Waters Christmas album. - "A Change at Christms (Say it Isn't So)" by the Flaming Lips.

gogo Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 http://store.yeproc.com/ Yep Roc's got some Xmas CDs on sale now. For anyone who's even vaguely a fan of Marah, or holiday tunes, I highly recommend A Christmas Kind of Town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 For me, it all begins and ends with "A Charlie Brown Christmas". I like Los Straitjackets, Elvis, and most classic jazz and standards singers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Johnny Cash, Elvis, and Ray Charles all the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcroach Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Very cool. I've done a Christmas mix every year since 2002. I'm still working on 2008. I'll post mine in a week or so and maybe 2007's also. I exchanged mixed with Big Perm a few years back and really enjoyed his. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 This is what I am trying combat. Oprah's free holiday CD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 This is what I am trying combat. Oprah's free holiday CDI helped the mom in law burn that onto a CD last night. Besides its lameness, only 8 songs? Oprah, you can help get a president elected, but you can't find enough holiday songs to fill a whole CD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen November 20, 2008Tony & Ronnie Wish you A Metal Christmas This Christmas season brings us a new release entitled "We Wish You a Metal Xmas & a Headbanging New Year". In a similar vein to the Twisted Sister Christmas album from a couple of years ago, this album features a boatload of big names doing fairly traditional Christmas songs. Since you're reading this on a Black Sabbath site, you'll be most interested in Track 3. That's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Guitar is Tony Iommi, and vocals are Ronnie James Dio. The rest of the band Rudy Sarzo & Simon Wright. It's basically "Dio", but with Tony instead of Craig. One funny story about this. Given the band that Tony is playing with is effectively the "Dio" band, I thought that perhaps it was recorded during rehersals for the August H&H tour. So I asked Tony's manager about when this was recorded. He told me that Tony recorded his bits at home, and then sent the tapes to the producer - he wasn't even there! hahahaha. Anyway, here's a listing of the tracks, and who plays on them. 1. Run Rudolph Run (Lemmy / Billy F. Gibbons / Dave Grohl) 2. Santa Claus is Coming to Town (Alice Cooper / John 5 / Billy Sheehan / Vinny Appice) 3. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Ronnie James Dio / Tony Iommi / Rudy Sarzo / Simon Wright) 4. Little Drummer Boy (Dug Pinnick / George Lynch / Billy Sheehan / Simon Phillips) 5. Santa Claus Is Back In Town (Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm not too crazy about Xmas music, but that metal Xmas CD sounds like something I'd dig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
