‘Christmas Joy in Latvia – Latvian Christmas Cantatas’ (2012).
When Rivers Cuomo sings "Oh, come let us adore him" on "O Come All Ye Faithful," his creepily deadpan vocals sound like he's stalking the Baby Jesus, not celebrating him, and on the pooch-metal rendition of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," he's like a Dickensian droogy ready to burn his crummy Victorian orphanage if he doesn't get some figgy pudding, stat! Hilariously, they choose only the most Jesus-y tunes to bash out in their vaunted flat-lined power-pop style.
Weezer bring it by the sleigh-load on this six-song EP. Classic Christmas hymns like "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Come, All Ye Faithful" tell the story of Jesus' birth, while modern hits like "Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)" by Amy Grant are sure to make you emotional.If there's one thing the centuries-old tradition of holiday music has always lacked, it's irony. From gospel Christmas songs to tunes sung by popular Christian rock bands to covers of holiday classics by your favorite pop artists, these picks will delight adults and kids alike. That's why we've narrowed down the options just a bit by researching the best religious hymns and carols for the season, both contemporary and traditional.
Of course, the sheer amount of Christmas music can be overwhelming (believe us, it would be all too easy to create a 10-hour Spotify playlist). And there's no shortage of festive holiday tunes out there to listen to, from "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" to "All I Want for Christmas Is You." But if you're looking to reflect on the true meaning of the Christmas season, there's no better way to make sure you have a few (if not more!) Christian Christmas songs on your playlist. There's nothing like queuing up your favorite Christmas album during the holidays - it's a time-honored holiday tradition that's guaranteed to make everyone's spirits bright.
