I love Christmas music, and especially if it rocks. Here's a place to suggest cool Holiday music to your fellow QQers.

I just discovered this one... Christopher Lee banging his head to "The Little Drummer Boy":

Here's a classic Dokken cover "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"

Christmas At The Devil's House... everything by this band rocks! For $10 I bought their entire Christmas catalog on iTunes (I know, blasphemy...but their stuff isn't available on discs!)

speaking of, I think this one is most appropriate this year

Bing Crosby & David Bowie - Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy 1977

Rob Halford "We Three Kings"... relentless double kicks and shredding guitars

Check out British folksinger-songwriter Thea Gilmore's holiday album, "Strange Communion" (the title oughta tell you, this won't be one for cracking open when the fam comes over for pudding)...although it does contain her warm-n-fuzzy, "That'll Be Christmas". Because, to get to it, you have to get past track 1...which I found myself playing on "repeat" for an hour the first spin!

Essentially, it's this moody, gothic motet to usher in the Solstice (you know, what The Church stole to cobble-together that other holiday, with the Grinch and the aluminum tree?):

Give her album "Regardless" a listen as well, my favourite of hers, she is really good live, if I remember correctly when I saw her last it was her husband on guitar and 9-10 yr old son on violin.
