I tried so hard to get that copy of oh holy night (was it?), but could never get ahold ot it. SOMEONE here has to have it. hint hint
I'm not so keen on Christmas "albums" as there's only so many times you can hear the same old Xmas songs, but if anyone these days can sell a ton of them, then more power to them. Not so keen on the idea of everyone in the world doing the old so called standards umpteen times either. If trhat's the only way you can make money anymore, by doing remakes, then it's time to hang it up. I know there's not much oringinality out there anymore, but for Christ's sake, and ours, there's got to be SOMETHING left that's good and hasn't been done already.

I'm thinking back when the Journey Force was still the fan club. So mid - late 80's.

Yeah, but how many people actually WANT H&O to do Christmas? I ADORE those guys, but I won't touch that album with a 40ft pole

I hate cheesy Xmas albums, too. One song is enough.

Christmas sucks...What's the point?
At least put a fuckin football game on, instead of that ridiculous Shaq v Rapist game EVERY year.

Yeah, here too. I like Xmas, but don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Xmas shopping starts earlier and earlier every year it seems like. It's no wonder they say the profits are bigger each year (sometimes). Sam's house of wholesale hoosiers starts putting stuff up in right after 4th of July here now. It used to be the end of July. Soon it'll just be all year long Xmas shopping. (yes I know they have stores like that already, but I'm talking EVERY store.)

You lot are gonna find Rudolf leaving a big
pile of shit under your trees this year!
I have to agree with good ole Charlie Brown
in stating that Christmas is just to comercial.
I don't think I could get into H&O doing a
seasonal cd but if Journey did one and they
did Oh Holy Night I would be in.
The best Christmas CD I know of is The Bare
Naked Ladies one.

no... the best Xmas Music is the stuff that's left on the shelf.
Yes it's way too commercial, no arguements there. What you will get an arguement abotu is people saying, THIS is "America", the land of opportunity and capitolism. F that stuff, too.
When will Xmas is a holiday started by people looking to make a profit somewhere along the lines. Everyone wnats a piece of the action now.
