As Christmas grows nearer, it's time for Christmas music. Check out some of these starts and stinkers.
Practically since Halloween, Christmas music has been blaring from some radio stations and across retail store speakers.
But now that Christmas is just around the corner, Jon Solomon, a DJ who hosts an annual 24-hour Christmas show on Princeton University's WPRB, is out with a summary of some of the best and worst songs of the season.
Among the best:
1. Happy Christmas, from the compilation Life is Dance: Plugged in Sounds of Wonder at the Pakistani Picture House.
2. Groovy Christmas, by Pee Pee Dynamite
3. Who Likes Christmas Anyway, by Luis & The Wildfires
Among the worst:
1. Last Christmas, by Wham
2. Deck the Halls, by Gloria Parker using a "glass harp"
3. Rudolph The Rubber Nosed Reindeer, by Jeff St Pierre and Phillip Antoniades using rubber bands for an instrument
