Classic:
Gloucestershire Wassail
Modern Enough:
Weird Al's Christmas At Ground Zero
Almost everything on Soma.FM's Christmas Lounge
Finally a christmas thread where I can answer with passion: August Burns Red - Flurries
Volume: 11/10
It's an instrumental, but nobody in their right mind would claim that it's anything but a Christmas song.
Fairytale of New York
The film score from Die Hard.
I am of the opinion that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
Fairytale of New York by The Pogues
Cashing in on Christmas by Bad News
Fuck Christmas by Fear
Don't Let The Bells End by the Darkness?
From the category COUNTRY, NON-SHITTY VERSION, I have some good ones:
Tarja Turunen Dark Christmas. It's not 100% spectacular but it's close.
I dig bad religions cover of the kink's father Christmas.
But I also put together a pop punk Christmas playlist together for a friend. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2KDLktij5weEe8wjoVpI2z?si=r4mAHZSlQRuROLnF3Lg-vA&pi=luEP0SsOQY6Cn
My two favorites:
Santa Claus Go(es) Straight To The Ghetto by James Brown
Ain't No Chimneys In The Projects by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
Sarah McLachlan's album Wintersong is one of my go-tos
Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight tonight) by The Ramones
Christmas Everyday by The Frights
The Creator Has a Master Plan (edit: by Pharaoh Sanders)
This Eastern Canada duo did a great Christmas album last year, very Celtic folk style. Here is Cassie and Maggie.
Andrea Perry's "Fat Aunt Bette"
A fond favourite of mine https://youtu.be/ZE4shVkwqIk?si=RjYhXFC4Xk4jF77f
I love (loooove) Nutmeg by John Legend and Stephen Colbert. The entire Colbert Christmas album is great imho but Nutmeg is the best by far. Also 12 Days of Pop Punk Christmas is pretty fun.
“Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree” performed by Brenda Lee.
Tankard - Fuck Christmas King Diamond - No Presents for Christmas
Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis by Tom Waits
I always like playing the Wexford Carol on my violin around this time of year.
I have no idea whats played on the radio but I get nostalgia for the gene audrey christmass album and I like the irish lady singers stuff.
It's only a Christmas song in context, but In Our World from Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas popped into my head a couple days ago.
Not sure what’s overplayed where you are but the world never has enough:
And all 45 seconds of this greatness:
A Christmas Song by Jethro Tull
Paul Kelly - How to make Gravy
River - Joni Mitchell
Happy holidays, you bastard - Blink 182
