25 Days or Less of Christmas Songs - #11: The Christmas Song

Not enough emo in your eggnog? Well then champ, you should really try listening to Weezer's "The Christmas Song." You'll be crying into your Dungeon Master's Guide before you know it. But seriously folks, even though "The Christmas Song" is a downer, Weezer has apparently recorded a whole bunch of other Christmas songs. And if you're looking for one that won't have you reaching for the razor blades, I would recommend "Christmas Celebration."

Pinkerton by Weezer

When this came out when I was in high school I totally hated it. For some reason, despite the fact that Sonic Youth was (and still is) my favorite band, I considered the sound of this Weezer album to be too rough. Over time though it has really grown on me, and I might even like it as much as the blue album, but definitely not more than. My favorite tracks are probably Why Bother?, Pink Triangle, and Tired of Sex.
