I've noticed a number of peculiar incidents among the members of the student body all having to do with rock and roll music.

Oh, I'm down, bet you now. Now if you don't think this song is the greatest song ever. I will fight you.

The holidays are all about giving,

so each year we share some of the best and most unique holiday

tunes for the season. I'm Jim Deeregatus from W be easy and Columbia College.

And I'm Greg Cott of the Chicago Tribune. We're once again joined by holiday music

collector Andy

Surzan for our 2013 Holiday Spectacular.

That's coming up on sound opinions. The You're listening to sound opinions and it's time now for our annual holiday spectacular

with Andy Serzan.

One of the greatest obscure music collectors in America for Christmas music, but

Andy is doing something different this year.

If you've heard him do this with us before, it generally

focuses on very, beyond underground, beyond obscure from the planet Mars Christmas music that

people would not have heard. But this year Andy you came

to us with an idea that we were excited about. Tell us. Well after all these years one

thing we've totally neglected on doing the show is rock and pop Christmas stuff.

And so my criteria this year was like okay is rock and pop Christmas stuff.

And so my criteria this year was like,

okay, first off, you have to be a great band.

And then two, you have to have made an excellent Christmas song.

So you can't just be one or the other.
