Christmas rock/alternative suggestions?
Trying to put together a CD of xmas rock/alternative music for work - can anyone suggest some bands or even individual tracks?

I'd get fired if I played xmas carols, not 'in-keeping with our corporate image' apparently.

Cheers

White Christmas by Stiff Little Fingers - the fastest version you'll ever hear of this song.

You could try a band called the TRANSIBERIAN ORCHESTRA.

They have done 2 xmas albums where they took some traditional xmas tunes and gave them a rock/metal/broadway sound.

Regards

The best alternative Xmas song ever has to be...

SHONEN KNIFE 'SPACE CHRISTMAS'

I have this on 7'' vinyl and wheel it out every year for a listen.
Gloriously funny
