Hello. I am looking for Xmas songs by alternative/rock/indie/rap artists. Not the standard Sinatra and Babs crapola. Example: the new Flaming Lips song 'A Change for Christmas'.

Thanks,

jay77

I can only think of one at the moment, AC/DC - Mistress for Christmas.

Sinatra? Crapola? He's got chunks of guys like you in his stool.

Try Run-DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" as heard in the major motion picture Die Hard.

Augie Rios - Donde Esta Santa Claus?

Umm... "Pilgrim in the Temple of Love," by Springsteen... [spoiler] AKA Santa gets a Blowjob [spoiler]

That= Sig material.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra does a song called Sarajevo (though if you look online it may just be labelld as Carol of the Bells). It's a wicked awesome version of Carol of the bells with electric guitars. Definately worth checking out.
XM radio has an enire channel devoted to "modern" christmas music. I heard them playing a song called "Christmas Day" by Sponge this aftenoon.
Sponge, there's one for the what ever happened to them file. I Haven't heard a peep about them since Wax Ecstatic came out.

Bad Religion, "The First Noel"
Fountains of Wayne, "An Alien for Christmas"
Flaming Lips, "Christmas At the Zoo"
The Ramones, "Merry Christmas (Don't Feel Like Fighting)"
The Vandals, "A Gun for Christmas"
Phantom Planet, "Winter Wonderland"
Beck, "The Little Drum Machine Boy"

And, of course, the positively essential "F**k Christmas" by Fear. 45 seconds of glorious holiday cheer!

Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping

Barenaked Ladies & Sarah Maclachlan - "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

Catchiest version of that song ever.

Pearl Jam (or the Dead Boys) Sonic Reducer, Let Me Sleep (It's Christmas Time), Don't Believe in Christmas

Queen-----thank god it`s Christmas

is that the song by them that they play every year on the radio at christmas time.

and where can i get those alt rock christmas songs, as they are not on any of their albums.
