Christmas Album

I know it's kind of tacky, but I love playing Christmas music at work and in the car at this time of year.

Can anyone recommend good Christmas Albums?

I will listen to almost any type of music, except Country & western so all suggestions are welcome.

I have all the Best Ever ones.

How about 'A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] ' here

Try this one:

Lots of covers by decent bands of Xmas tracks.

It fell slightly flat with me because I wasn't too keen on the songs (bah, humbug), but if you like Xmas songs it may be worth a go.

Seconded. A work of genius.....

I'd buy it from here -- works out at about £5-90 (Amazon one is listed as remastered though)

Reminds me that I must pick up the 'Back To Mono' boxset at some point

The Spector Xmas album is the pop Xmas album. The new re-master is excellent.

Been tempted by the "Back To Mono" set for ages, but it's long overdue a re-master, and there have been rumblings for the past couple of years of a more though Spector collection.
