TS does "We're Not Gonna Take it" with Christmas lyrics. It's my wife's fav Christmas song, and I have to say it's been high on the Christmas playlist since it first showed up.

Silver Bells by TS is the second off their Christmas album. Love the TS twist on the background vocals here. This works REALLY darned well musically! Just discovered TODAY it had a music video!

Christopher Lee - the actor - does a heavy metal Christmas album. At age 90 no less. I'm pulling this track as his low voice works really REALLY well with this song (rum pum pum pum). It's metal too, so 🤘🤘🤘

The 70's band does a Christmas track. It's mostly an instrumental, but is based around the Christmas hymn of the same name. This exists because Tom Scholz wanted to "Boston-ize" one of his favorites. :)

The most metal song on the playlist is today's choice. It's half of Black Sabbath and the "Dio" the band doing this Christmas classic. Iommi's guitar makes for a heavy Christmas classic!

Halford does a more traditional Christmas music but with a metal slant. It's not too "in your face", either. A non metal fan can probably get into this, it's not speed metal territory. Underrated album.

The acapella group does this song about the US culture and Christmas with things happening more out of their defined time they're supposed to. It's got a nice fast beat and a lot of jokes. #Ho

My last song is fairly well known for light displays - in fact the band has one as the official video! I have this on here because I have strong memories of my daughter jamming out hard.

Was a big fan of SCTV so when Moranis & Thomas released this comedy album AS Bob & Doug McKenzie, I snapped it up. Their bizarre rendition of 12 Days to this day is in my mind when I hear the real one.

As I get towards the end of my list, we're back to rock. I couldn't NOT have this classic by the Kinks on my list of Christmas music somewhere. The band in Santa outfits in the video is pretty darned amusing to me.🤣

The last of the classical section of my Christmas list has this from Andy Williams - something that can really be called a "classic". While I'm a metalhead, I can appreciate a well sung song.

My list veers off metal for a bit starting with this one from John Lennon that I always loved. The music vid for this really hammers home the underlying heavy message here. But always loved the music.

Brian's Orchestra does this song - quite traditionally. It's a rock version for sure, but he doesn't mess with the track beyond a single line of lyric (changing sleigh to Chevrolet). Shot the vid myself.

This one is done by Bumblefoot / Chris Chaney / Kenny Aronoff / Steve Kudlow. It's basically a metal version of Frosty. Has an interesting take on some of the lyrics. It's a bit more straightforward than some of the covers.

If Manowar can be described as anything, it's metal. They take a softer Christmas song and do it very VERY traditionally. In fact, at the start you'd have no idea it was a metal band (but ends up there). Very enjoyable.

Lemmy from Motorhead belts out a Xmas song with help from ZZ Top's Billy F Gibbons and Nirvana's Dave Grohl. One wouldn't think Motorhead and Christmas music, but here we are. This shouldn't work but it does. 🤘

In 1991, Pat released a CRIMINALLY underrated "jump blues" album called "True Love". At the end of the album was this cover of "Please Come Home for Christmas". AWESOME track. Wish more people knew it.

This is one that is a strong emotional draw. My wife and her parents used to listen to this whole album as routine Christmas activity. Over the years it's grown on me - love this LP leadoff.

This is short, but I always loved Sting's take on this song. It's the same beat thru the whole thing, but think his voice works well here. It comes from a series of Xmas albums from the 80's "A Very Special Christmas".

A name that doesn't get brought up enough, but Hoey can play. Ran across this some years ago at an Xmas lights display, and it's been in my head since. Great guitar work here. Really should listen to more of him.

The last by SNC on my list is their best. This version is the original from 1998 - it's the entire reason I listen to them at all. Love how this musically goes all over the place - still damn funny.

The acapella group hits my list again with this song that's basically about how bad it is to actually see the Nutcracker live, and how they try to get out of it. Not the most well known track, but I loved it! :)

First heard this at a Christmas light display many yrs ago. Loved it, so here it is. A mostly comedic track about our culture having leaned towards saying "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry Christmas".

In 2003, Pat released her singular BEST album - "Go". At the end was this song which just feels right to me, but then I am American. It does have these lyrics: "It's Christmas in America, God Bless the USA"

This is probably the most "churchy" of any of the songs on here. I say that because it's on here due to a memory when my daughter was like 5 - she ran around the church when they played this as part of the pageant. :)
