Bob and Doug McKenzie have the greatest version of the twelve days of Christmas. You get a beer on each day and it goes up to 13 days with a bonified dozen of donuts on the last day.

I can assure you without any doubt in my mind that for me the one worst Christmas song ever, and by far, was Run with the Fox by Yes. Man that is horrible.

For Christmas, I put together some Christmas mix-CDs for my bandmates.
Not totally appropriate, considering my bandmates are a bunch of fellow atheists and a Jew.
But hey, you don't need faith to enjoy the spirit of the season!

2. Rise Against - Making Christmas
3. Arcade Fire - Chestnuts Roasting
4. Jethro Tull - First Snow on Brooklyn
5, Bob Dylan - Have Youself a Merry Little Christmas
6. Smashing Pumpkins - Christmastime
7. Billy Squier - Christmas is a Time to Say "I Love You"
8. Ritchie Blackmore - Winter (Basse Dance)
9. The Kinks - Father Christmas
10. Flaming Lips - Christmas at the Zoo
11. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - I Believe in Father Christmas
12. Paul Simon - Getting Ready for Christmas Day
13. Sufjan Stevens - Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!
14. The Who - Christmas
15. Death Cab for Cutie - Baby, Please Come Home
16. Mew - Snow Brigade
17. Mike Oldfield - In Dulci Jubilo/On Horseback
18. White Stripes - Candy Cane Children
19. John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Happy X-Mas (War is Over)

Meh, I've never really liked Korn, but they ARE infinitely better than Limp Bizkit.

Of course, that really goes without saying.

Well, at least Korn has some talent.

Limp Dick need 2 get burned alive till crispy and then fed 2 rats.

A few years back they released "Nightmare Revisited", a collection of Nightmare before Christmas covers.

For the most part, it was pretty good. If you ignore the stupid Flyleaf and AAR, they had DeVotchKa, The Album Leaf, Sparklehorse, The Polyphonic Spree, Amiina, RJD2, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Rise Against and a SURPRISINGLY good song by Korn. And I HATE Korn.

See, here I feel Korn was actually a good choice, because "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" is such a juvenile song, and Korn is such a juvenile band, so it's a perfect match!

How is Korn a "juvenile" band 🤔
