5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Any Fan Of Holiday Rock, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Billboard Rock N Roll Christmas (Audio CD)

Now if only Billboard put out volumes 2, 3, etc. or at least added more to this one; however; it is a great r&r Christmas collection and sounds great at home, in the car or at your office party!

I'm not sure how these particular songs came to be chosen for this CD. The Billboard CD series supposedly features the highest charting songs, based on the Billboard music charts. Well, most of the songs on this particular CD didn't make the Billboard charts at all! Only the Billy Squire, Beach Boys, Canned Heat and Cheech & Chong tracks actually charted. They really should have included Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" and John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)", but they probably were unable to license those particular songs. But to be fair, Billboard didn't have Christmas charts every year, so many of the songs here probably would have charted if Billboard published Christmas charts during the years the songs came out. Regardless of all that, this is a good collection of rock and roll Christmas songs. Not perfect, by any means, but still a solid collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars com"YULE"ation with a few hard to find gems, March 29, 2001

A couple harder to find classic rockers"Queen","Foghat",and "Canned Heat" make it a good pick.Packaged with many very good standards by which all rock n' roll yule tuneage should be judged is party delight.Besides the finale takes you back to a time when you cared less and a smile came easy.
