Christmas Hits Album, The - Various Artists

not quite the best christmas album...

Advantages: great selection of christmas classics
Disadvantages: singers doing covers of good songs,

Wrapping up your christmas presents! Putting up the decorations! What else could make you feel any more merrier than singing along to past and xmas tunes. This album seems to always be on sale in shops as soon as December starts to creep in. I'll give them credit though, once in a while I've taken a look on the back cover, yes despite the fact that I already own it, to find that two more songs have been added which I particularily enjoy. Making it exceedingly difficult for me to not buy it again. CD 1 has all the memorable tracks. Songs which I remember always being played at the end of term school christmas party. Sadly the edition I have does not inclue Whams' Last Christmas. Which I distinctively remember being a favourite at the time! Happy Xmas (War is Over), Do They Know It's Christmas?, Merry Xmas Everybody, I ...

Christmas Rappin' (With Not Kurtis Blow)

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One average tune

?Christmas Rap? was released in 1987 as a compilation of works which bring together Christmas-themed rap tunes from the period that bridged the Middle-School phase or first 'New School' (1983-1987) to the Golden Age (1988-1993) where Hip Hop is concerned. Although you don't quite get an all-star line-up, Run-D.M.C lead the way for a range of acts (most of whom were only really one-hit-wonders) from both America and the UK. 1.?Christmas In Hollis? - Run-D.M.C. The most popular of all that appeared on this album (due to the high-profile act behind it) we have a great opener to the album as we see that here DJ Run and D.M.C throw down on top of their typical hardcore beats, but with some jingling bells added into the mix to make it suit the direction of the music as they attempt to make something that bridged Hip Hop to these kinds ...

NOW Massive Christmas Hits

Advantages: Good Songs, No Fillers
Disadvantages: Old Songs in a New Package

This album includes all the usual festive classics that you expect to hear droning from every department store and supermarket as from the middle of October every year. The up side to this album is that they haven't padded out the track list with lesser known songs which is great if you don't like having to keep skipping tracks. The downside is that there aren't many modern songs on here which is a shame given that this is a pretty modern release. The only up-to-date track is "Santa Baby" by Kylie Minogue and even that is simply a re-recording of a classic Christmas hit! The rest of the album consists of the usual festive tracks like "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid and "Mistletoe and Wine" by Cliff Richard. Track Listing 1: Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - Lennon, John & Plastic Ono Band 2: Wonderful Christmas Time - Mc ...
