strongly agree

Ok...well, almost no one agrees with me on this, everyone seems to have a favourite,
I think one of the key factors to people's enjoyment of them is nostalgia, it brings back the warm glow of singing thema s a kid..but I hated them THEN. I know they have alluring melodies, but in general they piss me off.

feck carols!

last few bars of dormi jesu sung very loudly by adult choir = total noise moment

hahaha

frogman henry has a lump of coal for a heart

basically i hate hymns. it's not about xmas as such, though that adds a special flavour of irritation.

oh man is that by Rutter caek? I HATE RUTTER.

I am a big fan of "Good King Wenceslas"

but why???

surely the most annoying king of all time

Beautiful melody and sentiment is why!

ah.... true, i guess repetition is the killer of a carol

can we not be so hard on the poor frogman, i think i know where he is coming from

That or poor performance.

concurrrrrrrrr

gkw has a pleasing lyric, but the music is sucky to me.

when subjected to a lot of carols recently, i started wondering what it is about their music that makes them sound 'christmasssy', whether that was a thing, or just, you know, association by virtue of their use. and wiki sez this:

Traditionally, carols have often been based on medieval chord patterns, and it is this that gives them their uniquely characteristic musical sound. Some carols like "Personent hodie" and "Angels from the Realms of Glory" can be traced directly back to the Middle Ages, and are among the oldest musical compositions still regularly sung.

and you know what? i don't like medieval songs all that much! for me i start liking music when it gets complex and polyphonic. so that may explain some of my antipathy. that and that horrible buggering by a father christmas when i was 8.

medieval chord patterns

A+, love em

know what my all-time favorite carol is?

Jungle Bells

Spoken like a true classical head!

There's a Sally Army band superglued to my tram interchange that's just begging for a Lucozade enema.

'OH HAI! WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS RAMMING AMATEUR TUBA DOWN YR FUCKING THROATS'

In light of being recently informed about the SA's anti-gay activities their awful xmastime noise terror seems even more sinister. I worked at a WalMart one year during the holidays and was subjected to "Away in a Manger" played on a french horn until I wanted to puke.

ugh I need to look into the anti-gay thing. Currently implementing a trade and social ban on everyone and everything anti-gay.

awesome. me too.
