Alternative Christmas

We all hear the usual Christmas songs at this time of year but what are the one's that you all like that are a bit different from the norm.

They could be covers of a 'classic', little songs of with the traditional feel or even one's with a different type of meaning like the first one I'm going to post.

This song, to me, is a very powerful lyric about those less fortunate and gives me a bit to think about while I indulge over the festive period. I've posted it before but put it here to see what other songs you lot can add.

Glasvegas - Cruel Moon

There a couple of others on this EP that I mught add later as it's my favourite 'Christmas' album.

Seeing as nobody else seems interested I'll add one of my favourite covers of a 'classic'.


Oasis - Merry Christmas Everybody

Julian Casablancas - "I Wish It Was Christmas Today"

I quite like this one.

Train - Shake Up Christmas

Brandston - Christmas in Ohio


This ones a really good one, Its form an album called A Santa Cause It's A Punk Rock Christmas, dont judge it by the title, its not all "Punk" I think most of the songs where threw in there because they just had to "Brand" it with somthing, some really good song on it, if you like the alternative xmas stuff
