Christmas Carols - or not

Everyone and their mother has a Christmas CD, and everyone and their mother's Christmas CD is being played on KOST 103.5 or KOLA 99.9 right now during their nonstop holiday songs.

Here are some songs they should never play... these people should never be allowed to sing Christmas songs...

Just about any country artist should never sing Christmas carols- and that includes George Strait- a man who can do almost no wrong in country music

Taylor Swift- Santa Baby -it lacks any sort of sexiness


Last Christmas- Wham - go get your heart back


Clint Black - wtf?


George Strait - KFROG plays this WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much


Other no-no Christmas song artists include: Cascada, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts

But these artists should be the only ones allowed to sing Christmas carols...

The list includes: The Carpenters, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Brenda Lee, The Jackson 5, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Burl Ives

The Crystals


The Ronettes


The Supremes


The Beach Boys


Gene Autry


Vanessa Williams


Dean Martin


Some notable exceptions of artists who can sing Christmas carols

Sugarland


Kelly Clarkson


Martina McBride


Faith Hill


What do you guys think? I want to hear- is there some artist that should just not sing Christmas carols? A Christmas song you just can't stand? A favorite Christmas artist?

Mike: LOL, you should be a music or media critic. You sounds like an originalist -- few can cover a song like the original artist that made the song popular to begin with.

Listen to Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas music, such a precise, clean voice with huge range.
