[T-boneParish]

The earlier reference to The Pogues reminded me of Bob Dylan's "Must Be Santa"... Rollicking fun Christmas diddy!

 

[Bryan R. Tyler]

The Eagles version of “Please Come Home For Christmas.” Not rockin, but still rock:

 

[Stackpole]

Always wanted to hear an Irish/Rock band like maybe DropKick Murphy’s Cover this one.

 

[NathOBX]

 

[kentiki]

Here's one of my favorites. Especially good for country bands.

 

[L Anthony]

The Little Drummer Boy - Daryl Steurmer

 

[knigel]

Nut Rocker, B Bumble and the Stingers



You could get creative if you don't have piano. I was in a ska band and the horns and guitars played the melodies.

 

[Dana R Gregory]

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Father Christmas
John Lennon - Christmas

 

[xaxxat]

 

[Remoman]

A couple of favorites if it's a rockin' crowd.

 

[Goatee220]

Really anything from William Hung - Hung for the Holidays

 

[Pilgrim]

We're working up some Christmas stuff now. Jingle Bell Rock is fairly easy, and Elvis' Blue Christmas is a pretty cool tune. I believe the original is in Bb.

The only Holiday tune I could think of that truly ROCKS is the superb Jewish folk song, HAVA NAGILA.

If you do a vocal version, the lyrics are very easy to learn.

But seriously. DICK DALE FTW

I when I was in a gypsy jazz band we did What Child Is This?/Greensleeves with great success, I think it could easily be done as a rock instrumental. In fact We have a gig coming up and think I'll get my rock trio to work it up.
