What's Your Favourite "Rock Oriented" Christmas Music?

[Newfie]

For me, the top by far is "I Believe In Father Christmas" by Greg Lake of ELP fame. After that is Jethro Tull's "Christmas Song" and John Lennon's "Happy X/Mas(War Is Over)".

While I don't have one of their CDs, the Trans Siberian Orchestra I think made a special delivery to Santa for me and their music may just be the best crossover between rock & classic.

So, list your favourites here, what do you like to listen to this time of year???

I have no idea of the name of the song or artist, but it's this chick singing about meeting a guy at the supermarket and having christmas dinner with him. They play it on the radio sometimes.......

I've always liked this one, too. I actually got to see ELP live in the 70's....quite a show.

Trans-Siberian by far. How ever the opera singing along with the rock styled music clashes to me sometimes. Still its fantastic.

Elvis - Blue Christmas

Bing Crosby and David Bowie - Little Drummer Boy

Tull's Christmas song is one of my favs too... I like the line, "The Christmas Spirit is not what you drink"

I also like the Beach Boy's song in the Coke ad... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL4DbMAe-d0
The name of the song escapes me right now.
