A preponderance of Auld

[fbhjr]

On the way in to work today I put on my holiday playlist. There was a
clear pattern and when I could sit down and look at the playlist it was
clear.
30% of my holiday playlist is different versions of Auld Lang Syne.

I’ve got very traditional ones right through dance versions. But, I hadn’t
realized I had quite so many.

Maybe I should branch out and get some other holiday music.
Any suggestions?

Snoopy and the Red Baron is one I like for fun

For a more traditional one I like the Carol of the Bells by Trans Siberian Railroad.

I love the Very Special Christmas albums that they've done over the years to benefit the Special Olympics. I think I own four or five of them. The first one is still my favorite (but I skip over the rap song).

I started "collecting" holiday music when I had the shop as I was going NUTS playing the same 12 albums over and over. Some of my personal faves include:
- Anything Hannukah related done by the Klezmatics or the LeeVees
- The Fab Four's Christmas album - A Fab Four Christmas (Beatles cover band - all of the holiday songs are done to the tune of a Beatles song)
- A Red and Green Christmas by The Muppets
- Doctor Octoroc's 8 Bit Christmas (if music from video games annoys you, however, avoid this one)
- Barenaked for the Holidays by Barenaked Ladies
- Straight No Chaser's Holiday Spirits

Hm. I could go on. And do you prefer more traditional stuff? I didn't put anything traditional up there but I have some faves on that front.

Oh, and Christmas Means Love by Joan Osborn.

I'm guessing "Christmas At Ground Zero" is on your list?
Happy Holidays, Frank (&Holly) safe travels!

+1 for StraightNoChaser's holiday album.

Also, if you do like swing/big band - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's "All You Want for Christmas" albums is very good - their rendition of "Heat Miser" is perfect, too!

We have a TON of xmas music- can you narrow down your preferences a bit?
