I know there are strong feelings about TSO, but hear me out. Sure, no cover is going to top their Christmas Canon Rock. I can agree and stand by that. However, you can get something that is different and still good. I think we have that here with the Orion's Reign (featuring Minniva) version. Is it special enough to take down Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley? That is something you'll have to decide, but please give Orion's Reign a chance.
Our second battle for the evening bring Happy Xmas - John Lennon up against Ring Out the Solstice Bells - Jethro Tull. Will Lennon's pacifism hurt him in this match? Probably not as this is just a vote. Up to you though.
Fun Fact: The Jethro Tull Chistmas Album was released in 2003.
