Christmas with Rocks In

First off, John beat me to posting Weird Al's tributes to Christmas, so instead I'll share some of my favorite holiday music. Trans-Siberian Orchestra! If you've never heard them...imagine electric guitars blaring traditional Christmas melodies. They do more than that, but my favorites tend to be the rock-out versions of melodies I already love. So go below the fold and prepare to be dazzled. Or horrified. Either way, I win! Note: These are some of the few songs that I tend to want to crank the volume on. ^/^

We've been listening to them and Mannheim Steamroller at work for the last couple of weeks. We can't all agree on anything else.

^/^ I also like Bing Crosby and Dean Martin, for more "traditional" Christmas music. Surely no one could object to them, right? `/^

They're good, but they get old pretty quickly because we've all heard them about a thousand times each year for the last few decades.

I guess I don't get tired of them because I only hear them for a short time each year, and because they take me back to my childhood. *shrugs*
