Editor-In-Chief Jermaine Hall's Picks:

Jackson 5 - "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"

"No Christmas is complete without hearing young MJ belt out that hook with complete control of his vocals."

Bob Marley & The Wailers "Could You Be Loved"

"My aunt died in her 30s. Crushed our family which was fueled by her holiday spirit. She loved Bob like no other. I can see that Uprising album cover sitting on a stack of 33s in her apartment like it was yesterday."

Mariah Carey Feat Bone Thugs N Harmony "Breakdown"

"Keep the Mariah Christmas music. This record, which is completely sad, makes me happy. I revisit it often."

Drake "Headlines"

"So here's the deal. Not my favorite Drake record but it's the first rap song my son memorized. He was four I believe. I play him the clean version and he thinks he's the greatest MC alive. That will definitely be on the playlist."

New Edition- "Popcorn Love"

"Cheesy 80s record yet it's so awesome. I'll pull it up on You Tube just to see Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike and Ralph do the pop lock as a unit. "
