What Christmas song written by a TP artist is the closest to being an enduring holiday chestnut? [www.yourfreepoll.com] Needless to say, this isn't an exhaustive list of every holiday song by an alt.rock band. Just the ones that seem to have become the most entwined with the holiday season at large - you hear them in malls, covered on other people's albums, etc. And technically, Roy Wood is not a TP artist. But he definitely is in spirit, even if he doesn't have an entry here (yet). https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,17874,17874#msg-17874 Sat, 11 Jul 2026 13:03:52 -0500 Phorum 5.2.23 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,17874,19034#msg-19034 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,17874,19034#msg-19034

"The Rebel Jesus" – Kerry Gulbranson
"Santa on the Roof" – Reverend Horton Heat
"Waking Up on Christmas Morning" – The Smithereens
"Super Rock Santa" – The Fleshtones

Each of those last three bands has released a full Christmas album that's well worth hearing in its entirety. If you dig the swing thing, Brian Setzer and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy both have some cool Christmas albums too.

And this band had three TP magazine covers, so I guess they're a TP band ...

I know that Doctor Teeth & The Electric Mayhem aren't TP artistes, but their version of "Little Saint Nick" has got to be my favorite Christmas song of the 20th century. This is worth mentioning because this year was the straw that broke the camel's back. I declare that I will have no Christmas music in my home that didn't predate electricity. Gimme that old time religion!
