spudwart ( @spudwart@spudwart.com ) English12•8 months agoFunny 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.
ezures ( @ezures@lemmy.wtf ) 2•7 months agoVideo 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.
ZeroCool ( @ZeroCool@feddit.ch ) English10•8 months agoFuck 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.

beefcat ( @beefcat@beehaw.org ) 1•7 months agoI 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.
SubArcticTundra ( @SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml ) 5•8 months agoWhat about Last Christmas? That’s from like the 80s
Also Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time UnfortunateDoorHinge ( @UnfortunateDoorHinge@aussie.zone ) 5•8 months agoAre 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.
woshua ( @woshua@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•7 months agoI’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”

pimeys ( @pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io ) 6•8 months agoI can keep The Beatles and Steely Dan, everything else can get their coats.
GreenMario ( @GreenMario@lemm.ee ) 10•8 months agoBlack Sabbath gets to stay too.
pimeys ( @pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io ) 2•8 months agoFor sure.
TheFriendlyArtificer ( @TheFriendlyArtificer@beehaw.org ) 4•8 months agoZep 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.

InfiniWheel ( @InfiniWheel@lemmy.one ) 4•8 months agoPeople 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”.
Starshader ( @Starshader@lemmy.ml ) 2•8 months agoMusic 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.
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) 2•7 months agoMusic is more accessible than ever.
That’s a good thing in my opinion.
beefcat ( @beefcat@beehaw.org ) 2•7 months agoWe’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.
