Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Who has heard of these guys? Bullet just turned me on to them, and they are mind-blowing. They take Christmas carols, played by an orchestra, and turn them into rock and roll. Holy sh!t, this stuff is incredible. A very cool twist on the old favorites. Someone, ANYone, go out and buy the cd titled "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" (they have several others, this one is the best, IMO) and listen to it and tell me it's not THE COOLEST Christmas music you have ever heard.

They are awesome and have been out for some years now. I play them over and over and over. The first year I was aware of them I gave everyone I gifted a CD of them. Surprisingly enough, some just thought they were just "okay"! Go figure.

They also are on TV with specials around the holidays -- stories put to the music.

My favorite CD is still their first one.

They have a few CD's out now, I just like the one I named the best. The title of another one that I own is "The Christmas Attic" and it's pretty good, too, but not the best. :yh_bigsmi

Sojo, I have no idea how anyone can not be moved to goosebumps from this music!!

Did you see that recent video clip, the house with all the lights? That was

supposedly their music. I'll see if I can find it and bump it...

Oh, that's fantastic, BTS, thank you! Did you listen to any of it and if you did, did you like it?

OMG - Thank you for reminding me!! I bought one for DH to put in his Christmas Cheer package and almost forgot! Now I just have to find it.....damn teenagers.

I need to download it onto my computer and copy it so that we have a copy for home so I opened it in the car and popped it into Mom's CD player. She doesn't like it at all but I think it is awesome!

TSO is an AWESOME band! If they come to a town near you next Christmas, you have GOT to go to a concert! By far the best show I have ever went to!
