Albums:

PHOTO UNAVAILABLE
Contains their hit Wham! Cover of "Last Christmas" and the Original "If You Were Born Today".
Joey Ramone - Christmas Spirit...In My House EP (2001)
Joey Ramone's Christmas EP contains perhaps one of the best punk covers ever done, "What A Wonderful World" along with "Don't Worry About Me" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". A Great way to rock out while wrapping my Christmas presents!
The Vandals - Christmas With The Vandals: Oi to the World! (1996)

The Vandals have been around forever, and this CD basically sets the bare for alternative Christmas albums. With songs like "Grandpa's Last Christmas", "Christmas Time For My Penis", and "My First Christmas (As A Woman)" this is definitely NOT family sing along by the tree material, but that's what makes this CD so FUCKING rad!
Relient K - Let It Snow, Baby... Let it Reindeer (2007)

On the opposite end of the spectrum we have Relient K. These Christian Pop Punkers have assembled a nice collection of holiday tunes that even Jesus would crowd surf too. The CD contains a nice mix of traditional Christmas songs mixed in with some originals. Songs ranging from "Silver Bells" to "I'm Getting Nuttin' For Christmas" are mixed in with originals such as "Santa Clause is Thumbing to Town" and "I Hate Christmas Parties". If you want something to give your mom to play so she can finally put away that James Taylor Holiday CD, I suggest this!
MxPx - A Punk Rawk Christmas
