“Every year, American culture embarks on a massive project to carefully recreate the Christmases of baby boomer childhoods.”
Funny thing is for me…
Christmas music is like 30% Traditional, 2% new picks and 58% snowy video game music… and 10% Phineas and Ferb.
My favorite Winter-y video game music has to be:
- Winter Tundra - Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage
- Freezeezy Peak - Banjo Kazooie
- Ice Cavern - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Kinda sounds like something from the old Rudolph special.)
- Ice Cavern - Spyro the Dragon
And for P&H, We’ve got S’winter and I know it’s cheating but the Let It Snow cover isn’t all that bad either. And I really don’t hate Christmas.
Video game christmas song are bangers, don’t know why.
Killing floor 2 has a really good metal/synthetic cover for carol of the bells
Payday 2 had a joke xmass album,the whole thing is great but this one is my favorite one.
Fuck boomer Christmas. Claymation sucks. Charlie Brown is boring. Frosty should’ve been left to melt. And ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ bombed at the box office for a reason. Just because it was dirt-cheap for TV stations to air during the Holidays in the late '70s/'80s doesn’t make it good.
Lmk how your inevitable life-changing journey with a magical Christmas creature goes
It’ll have a different vibe when the starving polar bears attack
I agree about Charlie Brown and the Rankin/Bass TV specials, but It’s a Wonderful Life is a great film that has stood the test of time.
Are you saying that industries such as the automotive industry exploit nameplates born in the 60s? I thought the Charger, Challenger, Bronco, Mustang, Blazer and Ford F truck were all original names and designs.
What about Last Christmas? That’s from like the 80s
Also Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time
I’ve been wanting to remake this chart for a long time… So I made one based on the first 20 of Billboard’s “Holiday 100 most charted songs”
It turns out you can buy some forms of love, but it’s really impractically expensive.
I can keep The Beatles and Steely Dan, everything else can get their coats.
Black Sabbath gets to stay too.
For sure.
Zep had a few good albums. Jethro Tull. David Bowie. Pink Floyd.
But there are also a finite number of times you can listen to the same album before you start craving new stuff.
Are you suggesting kids nowadays know anything about music?
Your parents said the same about you, just as your grandparents said the same aboot your parents
People were saying the same things about the Beatles as they now say about multitudes of young bands. Now they are old people music and thus “real music”.
Music is just becoming lazier. We got from needing 70 instruments and an incredible opera singer to 6 instruments and a talented jazz singer to 4 instruments and a good singer to 0 instruments a bad singer but a lot of vocoder. I didn’t said it was bad, just lazy.
We’ve also gone from people needing to be independently wealthy to even think about creating great music to just needing a cheap computer. Music hasn’t gotten lazier, the barrier to entry has just gotten lower meaning there is a lot more being made across the quality spectrum.
Music is more accessible than ever.
That’s a good thing in my opinion.
