Posted December 10, 20231 yr Padamic Tension linking a Killers Christmas track in the other thread gave me this lightbulb idea for a thread as they have released lots of Christmas stuff in between a 10 year span from 2006-2016. So let's rank which is your fave and least fave! A Great Big Sled Don't Shoot Me Joseph, You're Better Than Me ¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe! Boots The Cowboys Christmas Ball I Feel It In My Bones Christmas In L.A. Joel The Lump Of Coal Dirt Sledding I'll Be Home For Christmas

December 24, 20231 yr Author My ranking for this will be here in a bit but first I'm dropping a few comments as I'm going through them (some for the 4th time as I keep stopping and restarting as I do something else lol). First two are good here but 'Joseph, Better You Than Me' feels a bit ploddy for me.
December 24, 20231 yr Author '¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe!' sounds like their interpretation of 'Feliz Navidad' in some form. Very cool track with a nice upbeat vibe and could be what you'd have celebrating Christmas in Haiwaii or something.
December 24, 20231 yr Author 'Boots' flows well too. Lots going on in it and lovely harmonies in the chorus. 'The Cowboy's Christmas Ball' is indeed a fab one as well. Very jolly!
December 24, 20231 yr I wasn’t sold on Guadelupe or The Cowboy one. I guess I’m not convinced by the ones that try to replicate another style - to me they just sound like The Killers being a bit weird. Agree the first two and Boots are strong and that Joseph… is fairly dull. That should be so much better given the artists involved. Edited December 24, 20231 yr by Jingle Jules

Yeah the only decent bit is when they all sing together but it doesn't save it on the whole sadly.
December 24, 20231 yr Author 1. The Cowboys Christmas Ball 2. A Great Big Sled 3. Boots 4. ¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe! 5. Don't Shoot Me 6. Christmas In L.A. 7. I Feel It In My Bones 8. Joel The Lump Of Coal 9. I'll Be Home For Christmas 10. Joseph, You're Better Than Me 11. Dirt Sledding First 6 are fab to great, next two are alright but nothing special, 9 is... erm hard to properly rank as it's mainly a talking story but it is at least better than the last two which I'll pass on. 'Dirt Sledding' is really bad imo oops.
December 24, 20231 yr Author Fair enough, can see that tbf re Queen in some places but the Elvis voice in it is laughable for me haha!
December 27, 20231 yr 'Boots' flows well too. Lots going on in it and lovely harmonies in the chorus. 'The Cowboy's Christmas Ball' is indeed a fab one as well. Very jolly! Love ‘Boots’ one of my favourite Xmas songs of all time, love the use of Its a Wonderful Life at the start!
November 29, 2024Nov 29 Author Giving this a bump incase anyone else wants to rank these Will probably go back and listen to a few of them.
