I know the Mariah Carey song is hated because its overused, but its also objectively a well produced piece of pop music.
My favorite though is O Holy Night. Performed well I want to stop and listen to it. It moves me, and I dont give enough of a fuck about religion to call myself an athiest.
Fairytale of New York, the original by the Pogues is great and the punk rock cover by No Use For A Name is a total banger.
I love punk covers, if Me First and the Gimme Gimmes made a Xmas album I’d be so fuckin happy.
I am hoping that you have listened to Bad Religion’s xmas album then.
Its good but its not great. It makes it into the rotation every year tho.
They really should make one!
