your favorite artists covering Christmas songs

This is just a fantasy thread.

If you could choose any one of your favorite bands to cover any Christmas song you chose, what bands and songs would you pick to make one full album (10 - 15 songs)?

This is not limited to just metal (thus why I put this thread here rather than the metal room).

For me:


Silent Night - Depeche Mode

Jingle Bells - REM

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas - Erasure

The Little Drummer Boy - U2

Santa Claus is Coming to Town - The Cure

Grandma Got Run Over By a Raindeer - MOD

Silver Bells - Slayer

Angels We Have Heard on High - Pagan's Mind

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth - Anthrax

Away in a Manger - Silent Force

Deck the Halls - Ramones

Frosty the Snowman - Amon Amarth

Go Tell it on the Mountain - Rammstein

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - Arch Enemy

The Residents-Joy To The World (Cuz you know how severely f*cked up it would be)
Primus-Let It Snow
Rush-Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Megadeth-Santa Baby (For the lulz)

cool pics Schbopo! That Primus and Rush would both be awesome!



Any other takers here? C'mon guys, this is fun! And it's Christmassy!

Is their really worth getting any other Christmas music than Twisted Sister's "A Twisted Christmas"? That 1 CD is all I need. Oh, and Dokken's "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town" is also a forever CLASSIC!

I want to pick up Halford's new Christmas disc.

But this thread was just meant for fun. It's nothing serious.

They are not covers, but awesome hard rock Christmas songs:

The Kinks - Father Christmas
Billy Squier - Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You.

The next Six Feet Under Graveyard Classics should be just them covering Christmas songs!

MB, I think you created the most bizarre fantasy Christmas compilation ever! The only thing missing was a Beach Boys rendition of a Christmas tune.

LOL thanks.

MB- I dont know if you go to Starbucks but theyre giving a Christmas CD with U2 on it I think you gotta spend like 10-15 bucks I cannot remember pretty good track too

Id say any Christmas song done by Scott Weiland would get my vote but i learned today that he has an exclusive itunes download of We Wish you a Merry Little Christmas and he sang it beautifully

I'll take a stab at this:

Megadeth-All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.
AC/DC with Bon Scott-I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Ace Frehley-Jingle Bell Rock
Bob Marley & The Wailers-Sleigh Ride
The Tea Party-Cantique De Noel (O Holy Night)
John Mayer-O Come All Ye Faithful
The Ramones-Do You Hear What I Hear?
Rainbow with Dio-The Little Drummer Boy
Type O Negative-Blue Christmas
The Pretenders-The First Noel
Metallica-White Christmas (Metallica is not a fave of mine but I think
James would do a good job.
Danzig-O Come, O Come Emmanuel
