Any Major Christmas Rock

November 25th, 2025 Leave a comment Go to comments

Christmas is coming, so here’s the first of two festive mixes this year. This is, surprisingly, the first Xmas rock mix. Of course, all sorts of rock songs have featured on other mixes, especially the Any Major Christmas Pop (Vol. 1 | Vol. 2 | Vol. 3), on the Not For Mother mix, and on Any Nasty Christmas.

Perhaps one year I’ll collate the best of them in one mix.

This collection spans six decades, from Bob Seger’s 1966 garage funk-rock romp Sock It to Me Santa to Foo Fighters’ 2020 take on Chuck Berry’s Run Rudolph Run, and goes from the humourless to the camp, when the very earnest song by The Who is followed by Stryper playing the fools in the studio to surprisingly good effect. Plus, Silvio Dante channelling the Ramones with a cover of their Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight) .

But most importantly: some power chords under the Christmas tree. Rock on, Santa!

As always, this mix is timed to fit on a standard CD-R and includes home-kerranged covers. PW in comments, where you are invited to leave a nice message. All previous Christmas mixes should still be available.
