The Alternative Christmas Music Thread

[Crackle]

I thought it was the Green Giant but I didn't see the Santa at first glance, just the ho ho ho.

Well, the melody's Christmasy...

And a couple by Sufjan Stevens, he's done loads of Christmas songs...

The Used

Not too sure if it's "alternative" enough, but I think it rocks.

This might upset TBM

"Winter's Tale" by David Essex, a sad song.

I appear to be the only person alive who enjoys the Jethro Tull Christmas album, even though I don't actually like Jethro Tull.

I like Jethro Tull but not that album

I've just discovered the splendid Advent EPs from 'Future of Forestry" on spotify. Very clever bang up-to-date rock arrangements of well known carols. They've displaced the Dandy Warhols "Little Drummer Boy" as my favourite alternative Christmas Choon.

Though I'm quite partial to a spot of Christmastide Diana Krall.

[Klausmeister]

No you are not. My wife has just purchased our second copy after the first one went astray.
