Somethin' About Christmas Time - Bryan Adams
Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You - Billy Squier

Also, any artist who sings classic Christmas songs traditionally, rather than some lame new arrangement they came up with that ruins the song.

Sheesh! Someone is trying to get a date. I haven't kept up on your boss relations lately Guess, but don't you get any crap for brown-nosing from your other co-workers?

Back to the point of the thread....I'm pretty much anti-Christmas music. I'm not a scrooge or anything, but when you worked (my HS days) in a store that had MUZAK for four years I don't see how anyone can like the stuff. Eight hour shifts of Frosty sang by every country performer ever to live with the occasional (once every three days) Boy George song to break the monotony. Ugggh!

The Kinks - Father Christmas

And Peter Gabriel's "Passion" (the soundtrack to Last Temptation of Christ) has always been very "Christmasy" to me.

Don't forget "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas" with lead vocals by Jon Bon Jovi (when he was still John Bongiovi)
