(trying to be a religious song) was stupid, and "The Little Drummer Boy" to be annoying. 50 years later, I haven''t changed my mind.

Even bugheads know that this is a dreary treacly dirge that was (as is true of much of Lennon and Harrison''s early solo work) made truly abominable by lunatic Phil Spector''s silly production excesses.

Dec 24 14 06:56 am Link This is an easy one..... All of them are either stupid or just plain dumb and senseless. Dec 24 14 11:17 pm Link Bruce Springsteen croaking, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" - a horrible example of what can happen when every pop star is contractually obligated to do a Christmas song. On the other hand, I can listen to Sting sing, "Gabriel's Message" and Vanessa Williams' jazzy version of, "What Child is This?" over and over... Dec 25 14 02:27 pm Link |
