Josh Groban’s is pretty good, as far as fairly new ones go. I haven’t looked at any this year.

Agreed. It’s a timeless classic.

For something slightly different: Groups like Mannheim Steamroller or Trans-Siberian Orchestra provide Christmas instrumentals.

What Christmas albums do you like?

I heard about five minutes of Christmas album stuff at a restaurant last Sunday and that is it for me for the season. I can't stand the notion that every recording artist has to put out the same cookie cutter unimaginative Christmas album junk.

One of the very few worth listening to for me is the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Christmas Album. Been out for years. Beautifully arranged and sung, uniquely done, e.g. the Shepherd's Pipe Carol by John Rutter. Compared to this quality all the other stuff is cheap rote trash.

Bah humbug! :-)

It sure is but I was speaking of his modern Christmas arrangements that will soon be played on XM Christmas Channel 77 (I think) starting on Dec. 7. His arrangements are beautiful.
