While playing around yesterday and looking for new rock versions of old Christmas songs, I stumbled upon another list of Christmas carols. Monster Ballad Christmas songs! Anyone who loves 80’s hairbands like I do, will love these next songs. Check them out!
1. Skid Row, “Jingle Bells”
2. Janie Lane, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”
3. Twisted Sister/Lita Ford, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”
4. Cinderella, “Blue Christmas”
5. Firehouse, “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree”
Want to hear more? Buy the CD! I’m definitely hoping that Santa puts one in my stocking this year!
I’ve decided to have a little fun this morning and talk about my second love, music. I’m taking a little break from all the serious novel writing. I’m putting the revisions, the query letters, the revised synopsis aside for a moment.
Pretty much everyone is familiar with Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Or Elvis Presley’s “Blue Christmas.” But, where are all the really rockin’ Christmas songs? Mariah Carey is no Aaron Lewis. Sorry Mariah.
I did some research this morning and I’ve come up with some Christmas songs that would put any rock fan in the Christmas spirit.
1. Metallica “Carol of the Bells.”
(This song actually has been debated as to whether or not it is Metallica. Me? I just love it. And since it’s my blog it stays.)
2. U2 “Baby Please Come Home For Christmas”
3. Weezer, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”
4. Weezer, “O Come All Ye Faithful”
5. Aaron Lewis, “Silent Night”
Of course I had to fit Aaron Lewis in there! So, that’s a few songs for rock fans like myself to enjoy this holiday season. Know some I didn’t list? Feel free to add them. I’m always excited to listen to new music. Want more ideas? Check out the links I have below.
For now, stay tuned. A hair band version of Christmas songs is coming up soon!
