While the classics by crooners like
Bing Crosby might be fine and dandy for some, those who have listened to a song like "Jingle Bell Rock" and thought to themselves that it did not, in fact, rock, will want to check out
The Classic Hard Rock Christmas Album. Featuring tracks like "The Little Drummer Boy" by
Rush guitarist
Alex Lifeson and "Silent Night (Holy Night)" by guitar god
Joe Satriani, this collection delivers rocking holiday jams from some of hard rock's greatest legends. And while Christmas songs performed by
Ted Nugent or
Halford might not be for everyone, this album will definitely satisfy anyone who has ever imagined Santa Claus wearing a sleeveless jean jacket over his jolly red suit. ~ Gregory Heaney
