A GOOD Christmas Mix CD

bovy_j

Anyone have any ideas on what I could put on a Christmas CD. I don't want any of that holiday crap. It's the first week of December and I'm sick of it. I want some good rockin' tunes.

bovy_j

Bump? Anyone?

I can think of Let Me Sleep, Don't Believe in Christmas and Mistress for Christmas.

Heres a good mix:

Wilco - How To Fight Loneliness
Arcade Fire - Power Out
Drive By Truckers - Lookout Mountain
Satchel - Suffering
Beck - E-Pro
Sonic Youth - Sunday
Bloc Party - Two More Years
Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
Incubus - 11 a.m
Pearl Jam - Off He Goes
The Mountain Goats - Song For Dennis Brown
Manic St Preachers - Die In The Summertime
Elliot Smith - Rose Parade
Ben Harper - Burn One Down
80's Matchbox Bassline Disaster - I Could Be An Angle
Eagles Of Death Metal - I Only Want You
Soulwax - Any Minute Now
Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights

Not very Christmassy but this mix is a belter.

Hitch-Hiker

Fairytale of New York on an infinite loop. It's not really christmas until you hear that song.

Great song. Saw the Pogues for the first time a few months ago. Singing along to that was definately one of the highlights.

Oh, I forgot all about Fairytale in New York. Thanks to whoever posted that song. I would have completely forgot all about it.
As for Father Christmas, I haven't heard it. But, I will get it.

Any others? I wanna make this a rockin' CD, not one of those horrible christmas CD's you hear nonstop.

You forgot about the ultimate christmas song. "Merry Christmas I don't want to fight tonite" by the one and only RAMONES!

Brisk.

''dont believe in christmas''

that song at the end of showbox?

I'll definatly be aquiring that one. Also, If I'm not mistaken, Sex Pistols have a song called Punk Rock Christmas which could possibly be used to blast the hell out of the house Christmas Morning:)

Don't Believe In Christmas - Pearl Jam
Punk Rock Christmas - Sex Pistols

Also "Merry Christmas Baby", I think that one is on one of the Very Special Christmas comps.

Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis
Beck - The Little Drum Machine Boy
John Mellencamp - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

That whole album is classic

Doesn't get any better than playing "Walking 'Round in Women's Underwear" at the office.

does anyone know if the smashing pumpkins have an xmas song? i was buying a suit downtown yesterday and i swear i heard billy corgan singing an xmas song over the store speakers. it was fucking weird.

im partial to "baby please come home" by u2.

greatest christmas song ever though? i cant believe no one has mentioned it:

CHRISTMAS IN HOLLIS.

if you dont know who it's by, i pity you.

pablosprout

The Pumpkins had a song called "Christmas Time" I think.


Came out somewhere around 1996 or so I think.

I second that.

catefrances

twisted sister have released a christmas album. that might just be the thing . it would certainly get rid of any unwanted relatives that won't take your subtle hints.
listening to them sing 'o come all ye faithful' at the moment.

You should check out No Use For A Name's cover of "Fairytale"...also check out face to face's "Merry Christmas" I think it's on their myspace right now
