Your Favorite Rock Christmas Songs

Gilligan: Steve Stevens “Do you hear what I hear” smokes. I like the Gary Hoey disks too.

Love the Hoey discs too; nice pull!

Springsteen’s “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” is special to me as it always brings me back to a specific Christmas from my childhood in the 80′s when I first heard it.

Squier’s “Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You” is for some reason underplayed and I can’t understand why; it has all the elements of what should really be an instant classic rock n roll Christmas song.

I might get some push back on this one since it’s not technically “rock” but worthy of mention IMO. I think Gordon LIghtfoot’s “Circle of Steel” is one of the most beautifully crafted modern(ish) Christmas songs; due to the subject matter it’s incredibly sad but so picturesque in lyric and melody IMO.
