Only 5 days to Christmas, and you need some music. Let me help out …
It’s that time of year again, and here are some musical genres listed at Every Noise at Once that have “Christmas” in the names:
| celtic christmas | This is a good, Irish-influenced way to hear Xmas music: Clannad, The Chieftans, Enya, … |
| christian christmas | As opposed to …? |
| christmas | The standard fare |
| christmas product | More standard fare |
| classical christmas | Another nice addition to the holiday spirit. Why do you need to hear Burl Ives or Bing Crosby for the bazillionth time anyway? |
| country christmas | Just about any country musician will do. Too many to list: ranging from Tennessee Ernie Ford to Dwight Yoakam. |
| folk christmas | Folk? I am unsure how they justify listing Elton John, Natalie Marchant, and Bruce Springsteen as Folk. I can see Peter Paul and Mary, and Bob Dylan, but Death Cab for Cutie? Really? My favourite Christmas song, “Calling on Mary” by Aimee Mann is listed here. More bluesy than folky, though. Most of the names listed under “Folk” are notable for pop music. |
| heavy christmas | If you want your Christmas tunes sung by bands like Warrant, Dokken, Faster Pussycat, or Ted Nugent, you’ve come to the right place. |
| indie christmas | For those who wish to drink their egg nog to the musical styilngs of Fountains of Wayne, The Dandy Warhols, Ben Folds, Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket, Weezer, Liz Phair, among many others. |
| jazz christmas | There are all the standard Jazz names there: Chick Corea, David Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, John Scofield, and while Miles Davis is listed, there is no musical sample available of him. Boo! |
| latin christmas | Latino Christmas music, not Christmas in Latin. Both exist. Could confuse people. |
| pop christmas | A near-copy of the Folk genre. In addition, you have Cher, Bowie, Mariah Carey, Backstreet Boys, Carly Simon, and too many more to list. |
| punk christmas | If you would rather kiss under the mistletoe to Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, or NOFX, then this is the genre for you. |
| soul christmas | Now, wouldn’t it be a good idea to listen to your favourite carols to the vocal stylings of Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, or Gladys Night and the Pips? |
| world christmas | From what I can tell, what is listed here is mostly South American influenced. |
