My Favorite Christmas Cover Songs
I’m not a huge fan of Christmas music, but every now and then a rock band takes a Christmas classic and makes it bearable. Lol. So here are my top 5 favorite Christmas covers.
Small Town Titans: “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”
Originally performed by Thurl Ravenscroft
This is the best of the best. His voice, the arrangement, that dirty bass intro… Perfection.
Shinedown: “Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)”
Originally performed by John Lennon
I love this song anyway, but Brent Smith singing can take any song to another level.
Throne of Eden: “Christmas Canon Rock”
Originally performed by Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Trans-Siberian Orchestra: “Carol of the Bells”

Covers I Love: “Never Tear Us Apart” (Smith & Myers)
When I saw Smith & Myers back in December 2021, I wasn’t sure how I felt about this INXS cover, but the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. It is now one of my favorite covers, a track I can never skip anytime it comes on.
