DEF LEPPARD - WE ALL NEED CHRISTMAS

Pete says: "We all know that there are many Christmas Rock songs, some have reached immortality status, some should be banned off the face of the planet, but the majority of them go under the radar, such as this beauty from Def Leppard. Released in 2018, and written mainly by Rick Savage, this soulful ballad is everything a Christmas song should be: melodic, heartfelt, and, above all, has more sentiment smoothed on it than alcohol on a flaming Christmas pudding! Delivered by the unmistakable voice of Joe Elliot, this Christmas special from one of the biggest Rock bands on the planet deserves to be recognised alongside its peers as making the festive season all the better! Merry Christmas everyone!"
