I can find something to like in pretty much all music.

Except for Christmas music. I hate Christmas music.

Except for these.

I second ELP and Beach Boys! My favourite Christmas song is Christmas at the Zoo by The Flaming Lips (though it's barely a Christmas song hehe) Smile

Good call.

Here's mine:

Pogues feat Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York
Bon Jovi - Please Come Home For Christmas
Darlene Love - All Alone On Christmas (from Home Alone 2 soundtrack)
John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War is Over)
Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin/Darlene Love - Marshmallow World
Sinead O'Connor - Silent Night
Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Chuck Berry/Keith Richards - Run Rudolph Run

A swing Christmas hit I love is:

Ella Fitzgerald - Sleigh Ride

And some pop ones that don't quite fit the rock n roll bill that I like are:

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
Wham! - Last Christmas
Boney M - Mary's Boy Child
Donna Summer - Winter Melody
Band Aid - Do they Know It's Christmas?
(the version by Fucked Up is good too)

Good list
But I prefer the original Bobby Helms version of Jingle Bell Rock.
That was the number one most played song on my iPod last Christmas.
The Ronettes are great but I prefer the Jackson 5's version of Frosty The Snowmman

Btw I love Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses, that's a classic.
The Ramones track is excellent too.
