Hi all; a good christmas rock song is hard to find. Here's my rock collection so far. Please let me know if you have some more hidden gems!
Father Christmas, The Kinks
Advice to Young Mothers To Be, The Veils. Technically, not specifically christmasy but there is both mention of snow and being cold and vague, Jesus allusions; it's all very Mary.
The Entire Low Christmas EP is amazing; here's Just Like Christmas:
My very favorite version of Silent Night (by Elvis!). Yeeah. It's not very Rock n Roll. But it's Elvis.
Martha Wainwright does Christmas Wrapping! I like this version better than the original.
And her brother Rufus (Wainwright) sings Spotlight on Christmas starting at about 40 seconds. I have always wanted to go the the chrismas concert he does with his family, A Not So Silent Night. One day.
Hurray! It's Florence of Florence and the Machine with Billy Bragg doing Fairytale of New York:
And because once can't get enough Florence: Last Christmas. Excuse the really terrible sound, but isn't this a great cover? Yes. It is.
My favorite off of the wonderful Sufjan Stevens holiday album: Sister Winter
The Flaming Lips, Christmas at the Zoo (my favorite Flaming Lips xmas song is "A Change at Christmas (Say it isn't So)is unavailable in video form! Boo!)
Ok. So this is more xmas Dance time:
It Doesn't Always Snow on Christmas, Pet Show Boys
There will be more, don't fret!
