What is your favorite Hanukkah music CD? And why?
Happy Hanukkah!

Please answer only with CD's you have listened to yourself. I don't need help reading online reviews from elsewhere.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I bought Songs in the Key of Hanukkah ( http://newlinerecords.com/hanukkah/ ) this morning, after seeing a recommendation by an old friend of mine in London. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but what I have heard sounds like a really nice mixture of modern and traditional styles. It's apparently available on iTunes, but I got it from the Amazon MP3 store - mmm, tasty DRM-free MP3s!

Yes, that is what I was asking. I was even able to hear samples on Amazon. But, I hope someone suggests something a bit more traditional. Well, I really mean a whole heck of a lot more traditional. A rap Hanukah?! I notice though that Mahalo doesn't even list Folk, International, or Ethnic as choices for music categories.

What the Hell Happened to Me by Adam Sandler

Which happens to have the Hanukkah Song on it!! I like the song because it has endured and taught a lot of non-Jews like me a little about the holiday.

Hey, it was a toss up between that one and the Dreidel song from South Park. I wish I knew more Hanukkah music but I live in TN and the Jews seem to avoid this area. I only see them on TV. I do appologize for temporarily hijacking your question.

Well, I guess it's a Hanukkah song of sorts, and it's on a cd. But I was hoping for suggestions about CD's of Hanukkah songs, such as "LIghts: Celebrate Hanukkah Live in Concert" or "The Klezmatics Happy Joyous Hanukkah" both of which, among others, I already have. But I'd like to find more good ones.

Try the couple of songs on the Barenaked Ladies Christmas. They are honestly the best.

I couldn't find online samples of the Hannukah songs but I didn't think much of the Christmas one on Utube. The album is mostly Christmas songs anyway. I'm forced to hear enough of those in the stores and restaurants every year.

I'm not sure there is a truly good Hanukkah cd. Maybe you'd like the 2009 Nice Jewish Guy calendar?
