The Worst Christmas Songs Of All-Time

Christmas tunes are maybe the toughest genre of music to get right. The song has to be melodic and have some vague sense of the holidays. The temptation is to add a bit of attitude, maybe be a tad ironic or even record a song you've written yourself. But going down that almost insures that the resulting music will be a lump of coal for your ears.

There are literally thousands of inept or simply boring Christmas songs. But here is a playlist of about three hours of the worst of the worst. From Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to The Four Seasons and The Kinks, the acts on this list bring a lot of talent to bear on some music that is often nearly unlistenable.

So enjoy!
