Our Ultimate Holiday Playlist winners revealed!

Happy Xmas (War Is Over). And so is our Ultimate Holiday Playlist Sweepstakes.

In addition to a $50 iTunes gift card, each of the five winners has received a 10-song yuletide playlist hand-selected by yours truly. And as long as I'm referring to myself, I'd like to tip a Santa hat to winner Jim Stockfish for naming the Kinks his favorite band.
