I know its not even Halloween but I figured if any of our beloved authors have plans for making Christmas songs this year it might be a good idea to make a thread to remind people what still isn’t been in made yet sooner rather than later.
HMX never made many Christmas songs as I would imagine they wanted to make song that sell all year round, not just a couple of months, over the years we have turned to the great releases from C3 and the the authors on the forums to provide the soundtrack to our Christmas Rock Band Parties!
Try to stay popular and mainstream as remember Christmas songs are a perfect for a party in the winter months. I will edit this post with any suggestions (I have used Now That’s What I Call Christmas album as my starting point for this list).
In no particular order:
1) Chris Rea – Driving Home for Christmas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDt3u2Ev1cI
2) Wizzard – I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnczB6LXkqE
3) Boney M – Mary’s Boy Child / Oh My Lord
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxm1FlLSfe4
4) Elton John – Step Into Christmas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbRtGMm96F8
5) Frank Sinatra – Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtUK4AyHeTw
6) Andy Williams – It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFGC_YgeQ5w
7) Johnny Mathis – When a Child is Born
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCqhX89WV_0
David Essex – A Winter’s Tale
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jszz8SEORr8
9) Frankie Goes To Hollywood – The Power of Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyoTvgPn0rU
10) The Darkness – Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQhuoY5h2kE
11) Jona Lewie – Stop The Cavalry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HkJHApgKqw
12) Jon Bon Jovi – Please Come Home For Christmas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mamWPQp6dEM
13) Greg Lake – I Believe In Father Christmas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPm6CheT6rs
14) Darlene Love –Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

October 21, 2017 at 1:51 pm #491770I must admit rock/metal covers are really cool, Nightwish – Walking In The Air, totally amazed me and took me by surprise when made a few years back by Nightmare Lyra.
October 21, 2017 at 1:56 pm #491771ELP/Greg Lake – I Believe In Father Christmas
Edit: I did a quick search and saw you made a similar thread to this a little under two years ago.
October 21, 2017 at 2:05 pm #491773I have a couple Christmas surprises in mind this year including a rendition of Please Come Home for Christmas.
October 21, 2017 at 2:07 pm #491774ELP/Greg Lake – I Believe In Father Christmas

Did I? Time goes so fast, oh well rather than necro bumping and updating the released stuff, just did this. Sorry about that….
But I 100% agree with your suggestion!!!!
October 21, 2017 at 2:32 pm #491776The song I’m wanting to have done for Christmas would be Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Darlene Love.
October 21, 2017 at 2:33 pm #491777Anything from the Twisted Sister Christmas album would be nice.
October 21, 2017 at 2:42 pm #491778Great suggestion thread thanks Mr Wally
My Christmas custom this year will be
“Oi to the World” by the Vandals
( you saw it here first )
Keeping the content Canadian since 2017!

MrPrezident: https://db.c3universe.com/songs/all/__user/MrPrezidentOctober 21, 2017 at 3:35 pm #491780Okay, I’m here with my usual pretentious, obscure, awesome picks. First I have to push hard for The Killers. They release a typically awesome original Christmas song annually, and many would be fitting for Rock Band. Here’s a list of them chronologically. The videos are always treats, too!
A Great Big Sled (feat. Toni Halliday) (2006)
Don’t Shoot Me Santa (feat. Ryan Pardey) (2007)
Joseph, Better You Than Me (feat. Elton John & Neil Tennant) (2008)
¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe! (feat Wild Light & Mariachi El Bronx) (2009)
Boots (2010)
The Cowboys Christmas Ball (2011)
I Feel It In My Bones (feat. Ryan Pardey) (2012)
Christmas In L.A. (feat. Dawes) (2013)
Joel the Lump of Coal (feat. Jimmy Kimmel) (2014)
Dirt Sledding (feat Ryan Pardey & Richard Dreyfuss) (2015)
I’ll Be Home For Christmas (feat. Ned Humphrey Hansen) (2016) (not really suitable for Rock Band, but still a sweet tribute)
Beyond those, here are my suggestions…
Harvey Danger – Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas
One of my favorite bands and my favorite Christmas song beyond the Killers’ selections above.
Roman Candle – It’s Christmas. Go on and Say Hello
Another favorite band with a great Christmas song
Nerf Herder – Santa’s Got a Mullet
Same as above… but dumb and fun. The entire Hi-Voltage Christmas Rock EP by Nerf Herder is like that, so check it out.
And of course, I have to mention the Vandals Christmas album to which Prez linked a song above… and that’s the best song on it, so I’m happy. But it’s worth a listen if you haven’t heard it.
Finally, I wouldn’t want to play it in-game, but Jackson Browne‘s The Rebel Jesus is a very nice song.
October 21, 2017 at 3:46 pm #491781Jonathan Coulton – Chiron Beta Prime
Not my favorite, but unique and fun. A sci-fi Christmas.
That’s not going to happen. This was released during the first generation of RBN songs.
October 21, 2017 at 3:48 pm #491782That’s not going to happen. This was released during the first generation of RBN songs.
Whoops. It never got a Wii release. Removed.
October 21, 2017 at 4:20 pm #491784Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas) -Twisted Sister, Run Run Rudolph- Chuck Berry or the Lemmy, Dave Grohl, Billy Gibbons version are both kick ass!

I made a drums only custom of that song years ago but please go ahead and make a full band one.
October 21, 2017 at 6:38 pm #491795I don’t think anyone would care for it but I’m doing Green Day’s Christmas song, Xmas Time of The Year. I’m trying for a Christmas release date but I may release on Christmas Eve or even the first day of December.
