Christmas songs that dont suck

[SpaceMonkey]

As anyone who has had the misfortune of ever working in a retail environent during Xmas will attest, the festive season is also the season of heinous crimes against musical taste. However occaisionally somebody does manage to write a Christmas-themed song that's actually good. So what songs would you nominate for the 4C Chriostmas album? I'll start the ball rolling with a few:

Fairytale of New York - The Pogues
How to Make Gravy - Paul Kelly
Christmas at the Zoo - The Flaming Lips

I've always loved jingle bell rock

This Time of Year - Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Christmas Night of Zombies - MXPX
Leroy the Red Neck Reindeer - Joe Diffie
The Twelve Pains of Christmas - Bob Rivers

 

[Once Dead]

What about the Trans Siberian Orchestra stuff with the guys from Savatage if I'm not mistaken...

Anyways, here are some links to some heavy metal Christmas Carols

Here's a slick medley done by a one man band - just power metal stuff

Here's an official heavy metal Christmas album for download

http://personal.stevens.edu/~dsalotti/A Brutal Christmas - The Season In Chaos/

Download to your heart's content / mind's amusement...mind you, a lot of this is amateur wannabe black metal...Mary Did You Know is done very well though in a normal metal way...The Archer track, 'Angels We Have Heard..' is pretty good sounding too

Not trying to hijack thread! Just for ur perusal, but you really should check out Trans Siberian Orchestra and their Christmas themed albums

Oh f**king hell, no way... is nothing sacred? They should be tied down and have Shayne McGowan breathe in their face until they die for f**king with such a great song :evil:
