Christmas Artists & Albums. This section presents a selected discography of the best and/or most important Christmas albums, organized by artist name. (Note there's a separate section for various artists collections.) Whenever possible, the listings are accompanied by links to the album art; to a place to buy the album (usually Amazon); and to my review of the album. Admittedly, the list skews heavily towards my preference for all things that rock, roll, swing, and twang. But, nothing's perfect - especially me and my crazy list. Please send additions, submissions, corrections, criticisms, and suggestions via email.
