No one has mentioned the Merry Axemas albums. Both volumes are extremely cool. For those unfamiliar with the records it's christmas music but with the melodies all played on the guitar (and in one case on bass). In most cases you could describe the songs as your traditional christmas tunes but supercharged through an overdriven amp. Many notable guitar players appear on each volume including Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Joe Perry, Zakk Wylde, Brian Setzer, Eric Johnson, Al Di Meola, Ted Nugent, and others. If you like guitar music than you'd probably like this. Its very cool.
