A Rock 'n' Roll Christmas

In all honesty, I'll be the first to admit that as much as I absolutely love, and I mean love Christmas, Christmas music can seriously stat to wear on me. With the cheery, cheesy jingles bellowing through every store, restaurant, and home speaker on the face of the earth for a solid month, my desire for some gritty rock 'n' roll was at an all time high. So a few years bac
k I did some searching, and put together a Rock 'n' Roll Christmas playlist spanning from covers of classics, to some originals. Sadly, Jim Morrison hasn't sung about any winter wonderland acid trips, and no, Plant hasn't wailed about candy canes, and again, Hendrix shredding a barely recognizable version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" to my knowledge doesn't exist. However, this list- (and I may be missing some!) will satisfy your cravings, please your guests, get you in the spirit, and won't cramp your party style.
