Yep, it's that time of year again...

What's your favourite rock-y Christmas album or song? For me, I always say that Don't Let the Bells End by The Darkness is a cracking Xmas tune... and I've just heard the Cheap Trick Christmas Christmas album on Spotify, and it's chuffing brilliant.

As well as that, I found this altered version on YouChoob, which also kicks serious bottom.

    some of the Brian Setzer Christmas big band live concert is good

    my 3 favourite single are Greg Lakes I believe in Father Christmas - yet not written as a pro Christmas song - But I like the bells, choir and a traditional 'Hark the Herald' type of character to this song

    Plus Mariah Carey - but know many hate it

    Then The Boss with Santa Claus is coming to town

    Spinal Tap - Christmas with the Devil

    On a tiny bit more serious note, the Darkness song is great, and Santa Claus by the Boss is great too - Mind you when i saw him in May 2016 and he played it live then.. odd song choice but still good

    Anyone listened to the Twisted Sister Christmas album? :)

    Lynyrd Skynyrd have done a whole album of Xmas songs, but I've never heard it. Surely at least one TFP member has it hidden at the back of their collection? Go on - own up!

    How about "SantaMental" by Steve Lukather & Friends? Here's a link to a YouTube playlist below, it's a blend of traditional and Christmassy guitar rock! Joy To The World featuring a duel between Luke and EVH!

    I found a YouTube playlist of 50 ska and reggae Xmas songs. All terrible. I'd pick Rudy Christmas A Jail by the Toasters as the only one I'd didn't hate. Even that's a bit crap really. 
    MrsTheWeary has some country Xmas albums somewhere but the sickliness of these would induce diabetes in any listener. 
    Wombling Merry Christmas ( nice bit of guitar) then I'm out. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    Phil Spector classic Xmas album always gets played in the car on journeys to relatives for the last twenty five years plus, so much so that I bought my daughter her own copy to carry on the tradition with her husband and son.
