After looking for xmas songs through the search, it seems that most are the same ole titles being redone. This gets boring real quick.

Can we get a list going of original rock xmas songs that are not the typical Frosty\White Christmas blah blah.

Such as... Let Me Sleep - PJ The Sonics-Don't Believe In Christmas

Would like to get about 30 tracks to "prepare" for the season.

    PJ's "Santa God" was awesome, sounds like it was written in the 95-96 era.

    X-mas Curtain by MMJ is another ofbeat but great track.
