Christmas Rock

[wmthor]

Here's my all time favorite Christmas song.

[jimk]

Scotty posted a real nice piece. So Scotty, allow me to return the favor. I never will learn this song, because I'd never be able to get through it without crying on stage. And that's something I'd rather the audience do, not me.

Brilliant. Merry Christmas, Jim.

[cjj]

Yes, wonderful. I hadn't heard that one before, thanks for posting it.

[kennyhowes]

These are The Ones.

Wizzard.



Slade.

"It's Christmas All Over Again" by Tom Petty...only readily available appearance is on the boxset "Playback"

[antipodean]

I've always been partial to this oddity, possibly as it was a hit in my late teen years:





And on the Bowie/Bing clip - I've always thought Bing looked kind of uncomfortable doing that duet....

[winston]

I suspect Bing was a bit out of his element singing with a bonafide rock star. He was probably concerned that their difference in styles would make him seem like an old fuddy duddy. Of course he was right.......... However they both did a marvelous job IMO.

In Bing's defence though, no one to this day has done as good a job on the song White Christmas IMO.

Here's John's vision for Christmas. This is a great song.

[ajish4]

Here's my all time favourite.

Sweet choice Brain, this is Janey's favorite as well. One year, I ran ALL over town to find it on CD/DVD.

Mine? Hmmm, ROCK huh? OK, here you go!



SORT of ROCK content....


Thank you Mr. Squire.

Thanks to everyone who has posted here: some are extremely moving.

Here's one from my teenage years.

[royclough]

From one of the best Christmas Albums ever IMO

[admin]

Roy: You are so right about your claim. The arrangements are very clever and I enjoy this album immensely.

[stubby]

This isn't a rock tune but I put this on every Christmas to remind me that, for many people, Chirstmas isn't a very nice time of year. It gives me perspective in a holiday season that can be given over to terrible excess in so many ways. It helps me appreciate all the blessings I enjoy. This is from the late great Canadian folksinger Stan Rogers. I have a gig tonight and I will be playing this as I always do at this time of year.
