Top 15 Classic Rock Christmas Songs
Slade – Merry Xmas Everybody
“Merry Xmas Everybody” was Slade’s best-selling single, and their sixth and final #1 single in the UK. Earning the UK Christmas Number One slot in December 1973, “Merry Xmas Everybody” sold over a million copies upon its first release.
Queen – Thank God It’s Christmas
“Thank God It’s Christmas” was released as a single in 1984 but didn’t appear on any Queen studio album until 1999, when it was featured on Greatest Hits Volume 3. The song was written by Brian May and Roger Taylor. May, Taylor and and John Deacon recorded their parts in London, while Freddie Mercury recorded his vocals in Munich, where he was recording his solo album at the time.
John Lennon & Yoko Ono – Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Produced by Phil Spector, this 1971 release was an anti-Vietnam War song wrapped in a Christmas melody. For promotion, John Lennon and Yoko Ono took out billboards across America declaring “WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It).”
Bryan Adams – Christmas Time
Despite being one of the most popular Christmas songs in Adams’ home country of Canada, this song was absent from any official Bryan Adams release until finally being included on his 2019 Christmas EP.
Band Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas?
In 1984, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure corralled many of Ireland’s and Britain’s rock elite to come together and record this Christmas song they penned to aid Ethiopian famine relief. The one-time-only supergroup was comprised of Bono, Phil Collins, Simon Le Bon, Boy George, Sting, George Michael and many others. The song was a massive hit and sold over 12 million copies, raising £8 million pounds, equivalent to about $11.5 million dollars. It also was the impetus for Live Aid the following year.
In 2014, Geldof and Ure organized Band Aid 30 to record a version of the same song to help raise funds for the ebola crisis in Western Africa. U2’s Bono appeared in the 2014 version, marking his third performance in a Band Aid recording.
