Xmas By The Amplifier Hum

4 days away folks! It's Christmastime again and we here at Song Of The Day have decided to once again showcase some of our favourite Holiday tunes!! Rob.....get it on...

Rob-nosed Reindeer

Eve 6 - "Noel Noel"

Mr. Tanenbaum

Run DMC - "Christmas In Hollis"

Giftwrapped-Man

No Doubt - "Oi To The World"

Not sure if i've picked this one for Xmas in the past or not. Ah, screw it. Nothing more fun than that infectious bass line and Gwen Stefani's vocals recanting a tale of race drive gang violence quashed by the magic of Christmas. It's originally a Vandals tune, but I dig this version's energy a little more.

Doug by the Chimney With Care

Bing Crosby - "Silent Night"

Little Dano Boy

Bad Religion - "What Child Is This"

Bad Religion - "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

Bad Religion - "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

Jolly HP

Rise Against - "Making Christmas"

Holy Dayz and Not So Silent Nights

Red Nose Rob

Bob Dylan - "Must Be Santa"

Mr. T

Bhi Bhiman - "Guttersnipe"

Garland Man

Queen - "Radio Gaga"

I'm picking this song by Queen after seeing their performance of it from the 1985 Benefit Concert Live Aid. Queen's heyday was definitely behind them and even the band was uncertain about doing a festival style concert. What followed was one of the most memorable performances by the band. Freddie Mercury gave the show of his lifetime and effortless had the crowd in the palm of his hand, many of which weren't even there to see Queen. It's considered the show that brought on the resurgence of the band's popularity.

Revenge Of The Egg People - "Seasons Greetings Felony"

And just because we're close to Christmas...

EggDoug

Zooey Deschanel & Leon Redbone - "Baby, It's Cold Outside"

DanSnow

MSTRKRFT - "Fist Of God"

Alex Lifeson - "The Drummer Boy"

Jonny HP

Eminem - "Lose Yourself"

Christmas Is Creepin' In...

Rob

Matthew Good Band - "Strange Days"

Mr. Tanenbaum

Bruce Springsteen - "Merry Christmas Baby"

J. Giels Band - "Whammer Jammer"

Garland-Man

Hawksley Workman - "The Coldest Night Of The Year"

This one walks the fine line of being a Christmas song, it was included on Hawksley Workman's Christmas themed album Full Moon Eleven back in 2011. Though it's a cover of a Bruce Cockburn song which wasn't intended to be used for the holidays. It fits perfectly this time of yea though, not really happy nor sad. More introspective and isolated. Deep in self reflection among the happy masses.

Doug

Ben Folds Five - "Brick"

One of my favourite Xmas songs ;)

Dano

Estas Tonne & Reka Fodor - "Timeless Burn Out"

Jonny HP

Jimmy Eat World - "If You Don't, Don't"
