the 70-80s. Now, 40 years later, I can’t feel Christmasy until that album starts playing.

It’s the definition of Christmas music for me. Brings back all the childhood feels.

The Carpenter’s Christmas album is my favorite and I don’t care who knows it.

Yea. Don’t know what other 2 would be but thought there’s got to be others.

Vince Gill Christmas

Never heard it but not a country fan. Maybe I’ll try it.

I wasn’t much of a country music fan when I first heard it. Not really country. Great voice.

It's a tie for 3rd. Several versions of Handel's Messiah are fantastic.

Haha. Fair enough.

Can’t stand her voice. Just find it so... cheesy.

Sorry. Bad take.

Her trailing vibrato... nails/chalkboard.

She had an amazing voice.

If that’s cheese, then

Her voice is so annoying. Also Merry Christmas Darling is a horrible song.

She sounds like a 70s church movie singer

I didn't know it was possible to hate the greatest female voice of all time.

Yes, of course. But why do birds suddenly appear every time that album is near?

The angels got together and decided to create a dream come true

jkccoug

11/26/20 10:02pm

Well that get-together and its resulting creation turned out pretty hideous.

Next time the angels need to leave the creating to more powerful heavenly beings

She had the best voice in the world. Perfect. By far my favorite Christmas Album

TeeKaa

11/26/20 10:13pm

Like Carpenter’s rendition of Leon Russell’s A Song For You

Her voice is so perfect, so smooth and clean. Such a tragedy she died young.

There are some stunningly poor taste, tone deaf, west concourse aficionado

TeeKaa

Those are likely folks who think rap is great music.

No Christmas music for me today. But I am listening to some 70's music. Dreams,

11/26/20 10:35pm

Now there’s a great album, although not Christmas

Soupie

11/26/20 10:36pm

Love Stevie Nick's voice. Got a bit of a gravelly edge to it, but still gorgeous

I dunno about their Christmas stuff, but the Carpenters remind me of my mom,

I too first listened to the Carpenters on my parents’ 8-track player. Good

Carpenters and Chicago. My first two albums when I was 12

I get that. I don't feel Christmasy until I hear old 40s and 50s Christmas music...

HighHorse

That’s me too. I’d have an hour or so alone after school each day & listen to them

Soupie

11/28/20 9:09am

And for my family, it’ll probably be a bunch of weird modern indie Christmas
