It turns out that if you weren't brought up listening to The Pogues' Fairytale of New York, like my German girlfriend, the first minute sounds like nothing more than a drunk guy singing very badly out of tune. Which, of course, it is.
I like it. It sounds real. We don't get many real Christmas songs.

What do you mean by "real?" Sorry, comments like that just make me cringe.
It sounds human. It sounds relatable. It sounds like they dropped all the marketing and all the test groups and all the commercialism and all the "Silver and Gold" and wrote something they thought sounded good, and hoped people would agree.

I understand what you meant, I just fundamentally disagree with the attitude that just because something is produced, popular, or marketed that it may be any less real to the songwriters, musicians, and producers that make it or to those that consume it.
Mine is Saber Marionette J. Terrible show that it is, I still have a soft spot for it since it was one of the first subtitled anime I ever rented from the local video store. Plus, anything with Megumi Hayashibara in it gets at least a tiny bump from me.
Oh man, Love Hina. Love Hina is my "You're allowed one" of the harem show category.
Harem is one of the "you're allowed one" genres that I never watched. In retrospect, I guess Negima! was a harem show, but I never saw more than the first disc or so.
I have determined that Santastic III: In 3-D is the best of the Santastics, with Santastic Six in a close second. As a Bostonian going to a school of %70 generic white girls, the track A Wicked Hardcore Christmas seems rather apt for me this year.

Same, but only the manga. The anime is kinda terrible, IMO.
Yeah, I'm with you on that. I first saw the show when I was a young teenager, but when I went to watch it as an adult, it was kinda painful to watch.
Mine was DNA2. I have heard that it is not like other harem shows, but I cannot confirm that because I just can't bring myself to wander the horrifying Harem Hellscape.

That was the first anime I rented from Blockbuster. It was in the children's section (holy fuck what were they thinking?). I went back to watch it but it was kinda bad. I do feel bad for Junta, though. What the hell could have happened to him to give that phobia with that reaction? I don't remember if it explained it at all but, fuck, that sucks.

Lastly: uh, wouldn't call it "listenable" per se, but. Welp. This exists.
THERE IS A WHOLE ALBUM OF THIS. I don't know if I am glad I never came across it before or not.
Album may be slightly more listenable in German:
