One of the many problems with Christmas music on the radio

[dvandom]

A lot of Christmas standards (please, these aren't "holiday" songs, with a few exceptions) simply aren't all that long. Sure, many of them have obscure additional verses that can be used to stretch them out to the radio standard 3:15 length, but a lot of Christmas songs on the radio are horribly padded out, repeating the entire song twice with an instrumental solo in the middle or something.

You also have the issue of the lengthier stuff of recent years not being very radio suitable. You won't hear Monster Magnet's "Dead Christmas", Overkill's "My December"(unrelated to Linkin Park's song in any way) or any of the Twisted Sister Christmas stuff. Unless perhaps the DJ is trying to get himself fired.

I haven't even heard George Thorogood's "Rock N Roll Christmas" in years. They seem to want to stick with the really old stuff or whatever new top 40 hit is out this year.
