As part of this panel I will argue that one album in the top ten of Rolling Stone’s “25 Greatest Christmas Albums of All Time” is overrated and should be replaced by another album. The album to be rejected and the album to be named in place of the rejected album will be decided three weeks prior to the conference. I will spend twelve minutes on my rejection and selection, and three minutes attacking the decision(s) of one of my fellow panelists. To ensure a lively debate and to avoid duplication in album selection or panelist under attack, the four panelists (Nick Baxter-Moore, Tom Kitts, Linda Moroziuk, Lawrence Pitilli) will coordinate our selections prior to the conference. The panel will be chaired by Nick Baxter-Moore.
