There are a number of artists who frequently make the “best of” lists but most rational people don’t argue their merit. The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are typically at the top in classic rock, and even their critics don’t place usually place them farther than top 20. Move a little farther down and you’ll find Jimi Hendrix and The Who where most will agree if they’re not the all-time greatest, at least they’re not horrible. Bruce Springsteen may not be everybody’s favorite, but most rock fans appreciate what he does. This list is specifically made up of groups who have a large contingent of rabid supporters, yet they also have a large number of devoted detractors. People are passionate for them, or passionate against them.

MUSIC: My Christmas Music
Well, these are just some ways to hear my kind of Christmas tunes! But I'm warning you that some contain profanity and explicit lyrics!
These will give you a pretty good idea of what I listen to at Christmas. The second "quick mix" button will give you the best idea. But you can only use them if you have an account with Pandora. It's free though!
But if you don't have Pandora, here's a few songs I listen to from Playlist.com.

MUSIC: Song Of The Day - Halloween Edition (Oct 3): "Monster Mash" By Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt Kickers
You can't have a Halloween playlist without this song. It'd be like having a collection of Christmas tunes without Bing Crosby's "White Christmas"!
I actually have a few different versions of this song, including one by the horror-influenced punk band The Misfits, one by Mannheim Steamroller - known for their Christmas music, one by horror master Vincent Price, among others.
But none beat the original by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and The Crypt Kicker Five.
