Can you imagine listening to some kick ass versions of
Merry Christmas Baby
Baby Please Come Home
Santa Claus is Coming To Town
War is Over
Etc.
love the Bruce Springsteen, U2 versions... PJ versions with sax replaced with Mike's guitar. That would be awesome.
My 3 and 4 yo would be singing along. Think about it.
Or maybe Ed Uke Christmas??? :)>-

    Interesting story on NPR this morning about Christmas albums. There is so much Christmas music that exists, but yet new recordings are made every year.

    The band already has enough Christmas oriented Songs from the annual fan Club singles to fill an album.
    And he still gives his love,
    he just gives it away...

    This.
    I'd have to agree, though throwing a one-off cover at a December show might be cool!

    Yep. A Christmas album seems like a very unnatural thing for this band to do. Don't see it happening and definitely don't want it.

    My favourite one is the Twisted Sister xmas album that came out around 5 years ago. I'm like many other people. I know "We're not going to take it" but not any other songs. I was listening to the radio and someone mentioned how good it was. I grabbed a copy and it rocks. It's basically a hard rock Christmas album done really well. It's now a staple that get's played around the house every Christmas... btw make sure you get past the first two minutes where they pretend to be acoustic before rocking it out :)

    No, no, no. Please, no! Christmas songs are just too cheesy and the last thing PJ should do. The occasional song on a Holiday Single is fine, but I usually skip them too after one or two plays

    Agree that the odd fan single is fun, but an actual specific Christmas album is not for me.
    Mind you I'd have said the same for Mark Lanegan.

    Bad Religion made a Christmas album last year and it was pretty cool. Also, 20% of the proceeds went to the organization called SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests).

    Bad Religion rules.

    Personally, I'd be far more interested them teaming up with Tinariwen to make a Kwanzaa record but I don't see that happening either. How about a good solid floor shaking rock and roll record?
