Which leads me to two points:

1. All the good Christmas songs have been written. Quit trying.

2. If you are a more contemporary band and want to make a Christmas album a) see #1 and b) speeding up a classic Christmas song or singing it in a raspy Nickelback voice is not unique and not better. Stop it.

Corey Taylor, yes that Corey Taylor the lead singer of Slipknot, has a tune out called, 'X-M@$!'.  

and the Dropkick Murphy's, "The Season's Upon Us".


Give those two songs a spin. 


I can't wait to start to listen to X-mas music again.  But, my personal belief is I have to wait until after Turkey Day.

I think Xmas music should wait until right around 12/10. That gives you two weeks of it.

Is the day after Thanksgiving the appropriate time to put lights up outside or any other ideas

You have not listened to Corey Taylor's X-mas! yet. 

Or the DropKick Murphy's, The Season is Upon Us.

The Band also has a really awesome Christmas song called, "Christmas Must Be Tonight".

U2- I Believe in Father Christmas

Chris Issak- Its Christmas Again


There's 5 songs, just off the top of my head, that I have on my Christmas cd that are 'contemporary' artists.  There's still good "new" Christmas music out there.  You just have to look around for it.  




Otherwise, Nickleback can go to Madagascar for the rest of my life and we'd be better off.
