My late mom hated this song (also done by Simon & Garfunkel from "Wednesday Morning 3 A.M." album) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXKx26V ... lers-Topic

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas
Let's see... much of Africa was colonized by Europeans who converted the natives to Christianity, so I'd wager a great many Africans know all about Christmas. The whole thing sounds about as sincere as an aluminum Christmas tree. I've heard a story about one artist who when asked to participate in a project for Ethiopia replied, "I didn't know I sold records in Ethiopia!" (This artist was not named in the story, but I'm curious to find out who it was. Allegedly a one-hit wonder.)

Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
He has trouble staying on pitch. He sounds like he recorded this after having one too many.

Elmo & Patsy - Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
My own dear departed grandmother hated this song and I can definitely understand why. I don't find it funny at all.

Anything from the American Idol Christmas albums
I have a virulent hatred for anything Idol, and this is no exception.

But the all-time biggest stinker has to be...

Newsong - The Christmas Shoes
Review courtesy timeout.com:
"Some Christmas songs tug at your heartstrings. This swelling country-tinged ballad from Christian band New Song rolls in with a bazooka full of sap, sugar, and angel’s tears… then completely misses a point-blank shot. It starts with New Song Guy buying last-minute Christmas presents, only to observe a filth-covered boy trying to buy a pair of shoes for his mom. It’s revealed she’s probably going to die, and the kid wants her to look nice when she meets Jesus. He doesn’t have enough money, so the New Song Guy buys them for him, clearly proud of an act of Christian love that begins and ends at a cash register and not, you know, with the guy making sure the kid’s safe and the mom gets help? The lord works in mysterious, very overwrought ways."

I'm not the biggest fan of Mariah's "All I Want for Christmas is You."

What version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is that?

My dudes,
Christmas Shoes and Do They Know It's Christmas are 2 of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Y'all are the reason the iheart corporate Christmas playlist has 15 different versions of Jingle Bells and Frosty the Snowman all day, cause you complain about actual good songs

I like "Do They Know It's Christmas" but have never heard the "Christmas Shoes".

It's so cute. It's about a boy who wants to buy shoes for his dying mom, so she will look great when she meets Jesus

Anything by Mannheim Steamroller or Trans-Siberian Express. They don't perform music, they pound it into submission.

I agree, that one's not bad, because they restrain themselves.
