And the noise from Slade stops...not everyone on the house is happy.
Currently playing Bleached's Jingle Bells
Spinal Tap's Christmas with the Devil was fun
What alternative Christmas songs aren't you sick of...yet
Every year I get the Jonny Trunk Xmas mix cd. 10+ years so far of random, cheesy, electronic, weird, psychedelic, and odd Christmas music.

Jethro tull Christmas album
Soma FM has some nice Christmas stations… Xmas in Frisco is our current choice.
Not strictly a Christmas song, but that’s why it’s alternative. And this is absolutely brilliant:
Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis. Tom Waits.
The Fall's version of Hark the Herald Angels Sing is pretty good too.
I like the sound of the trunk mix..
Bit like this, that I eagerly await and download every year. http://djriko.com/mixmases.htm
I think I might actually have found out about it on this very forum. My kids hate it. I love it.
Corey Taylor, Merry Fxxxxx Christmas! 🙂
Try Chilly Gonzales - A Very Chilly Christmas
Almost enough to pass as traditional Christmas stuff...but a bit more bleak 😁
And one more that isn't miserable!
Dropkick Murphys: The season's upon us
Oh man, that Low track is my fave xmas track of all time, love the sentiment in the lyrics.
I usually go for one of the what seem to be endless Sufjan Stevens Christmas specials, this year I'm going for Chet Baker Silent night, if my Spotify will play the blinking thing
This thread might as well be blended with the other Christmas single thread, the way it’s going!
See if you can track down Alan's Christmas by The Speed Dinosaurs. Our families favourite Christmas song.
Not really a Christmas song but it's set on Christmas day if that's good enough.
Thanks for all the suggestions
Love the Half Man Half Biscuit track, i'd forgotten about the Dropkick Murphy's one too. Yes, the Vandals! Thanks for that. Just Like Christmas by Low is a stunner and Christmas in Prison brings a tear to my eye.
Kinda christmassy
Or a bit of Dio?

Have been introducing my boys to some of the tamer GLC stuff. They thought this was hilarious. The rest of the album's unsuitable for them, though.
Can it get more Christmassy than a live cover of Eric Cartman's Swiss Colony Beef Log?
I have a CD from Mojo magazine from 2005 titled Blue Christmas and it's got some great tracks on it. The James Brown Christmas album Funky Christmas is great.
Christmas Truce by Sabaton
Is it Christmassy? Sort of but well worth a watch of the music video
Brings a tear to the eye.
Does "All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away kit" count?
All sound interesting. But not the Mary Spender track. Or anything by her. Ever
Just finished a half shift and am in Wetherspoons for breakfast and Greg Lake has just been playing. Is it alternative or
just a Christmas single now?
Horslips
Drive the cold winter away
I was convinced this was Macca when it was released in my teens...
From William Burroughs excellent album with the Disposable Heros of Hiphopricy
I see the Kiffness has done a new christmas remix 🙂
If you have no idea who he is, just check back through some of his videos. The man has a great talent...
