Christmas covers
 

I am making an alternative Christmas CD. As in alternative I mean fairly modern, like not Sinatra or Amy Grant or whatever.

Please direct me to modern covers, or even originals, from any genre that relate to christmas. I can only find a few on my own.

The Vandals did a lovely christmas album.

The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End)
John Lennon - Happy Christmas (always a classic)
Mike - All I Want for Christmas is a Girlfriend
Eagles - Please Come Home for Christmas
Dave Matthews Band - Christmas Song
Jimmy Buffett - Mele Kelikimaka
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Christmas All Over Again
Queen - Thank God it's Christmas
Big Star - Jesus Christ
Alabama - Christmas in Dixie
Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas
Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime
Street Drum Corps - Happy Christmas (War is Over)
Wham! - Last Christmas
Lou Monte - Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey

^^ That right there is a badass list. I can help find those if you need.


Even though you want fairly modern I'm going to recommend A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector. That is such a classic album.

The band, Korn did Jingle balls (aka. Jingle bells)

Pretty nasty and contemporary version.

Cap'n Jazz - Winter Wonderland

Slade's Christmas song, the name escapes me.

here's a bunch

AC/DC - mistress for christmas
Aimee Mann - did a whole christmas album
BB King - Back Door Santa
Band, The - Christmas Must be tonight
Booker T & the MG's - did a whole christmas album
Captain Sensible - one christmas catalogue
Chris Isaak - did a whole christmas album
Cocteau Twins - winter wonderland
Cracker - merry christmas emily
Joan Jett - little drummer boy
Kinks - father christmas (AWESOME!)
Kurtis Blow - christmas rappin
Run DMC - christmas in hollis
Squeeze - Christmas Day
