Christmas Playlist

[KROW]

'Tis the season, as they say, and I'm wondering what sorts of yuletide songs y'all like to listen to. I tend to lean towards tracks that are original to break the usual traditional jingles (though those jingles are nice, too). I compiled a little list of songs I like to crank out every year to get me in the mood for some holiday cheer. Feel free to do the same if you like.

• Merry F***king Christmas - Denis Leary
• Christmas at Ground Zero - "Weird Al" Yankovic
• Father Christmas - The Kinks
• The Season's Upon Us - Dropkick Murphys
• Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight) - The Ramones
• Christmas With the Devil - Spinal Tap
• Stripper Christmas Summer Weekend - GWAR
• The Night Santa Went Crazy - "Weird Al" Yankovic
• X-M@$ - Corey Taylor
• Heavy Metal Christmas - Twisted Sister
• Mistress for Christmas - AC/DC
• No Presents for Christmas - King Diamond
• Naughty Christmas - Lacuna Coil
• Viking Christmas - Amon Amarth
• Christmas Spirits - Sonata Arctica

And here's one that's a bit more conventional:

• It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Andy Williams
• A Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives
• Happy Xmas (War is Over) - John Lennon
• Do They Know It's Christmas - Band-Aid (1984 version)
• Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney
• Happy Holidays (The Holiday Season) - Andy Williams
• Step Into Christmas - Elton John
• Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) - Bing Crosby
• Feliz Navidad - Jose Feliciano
• Do You Hear What I Hear - Perry Como
• Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby and David Bowie
• The Christmas Waltz - Frank Sinatra

Glad tidings.
