This rock-oriented set is a mixed bag. Vanessa Carlton and Bright Eyes aren't cut out for vocal interpretation (''Green-sleeves'' and ''Blue Christmas,'' respectively and painfully). But the spirited Barenaked Ladies/Sarah McLachlan take on ''God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'' makes up for lots of coal. Stand-out: Dan (Supersonic) Wilson's bittersweet ''What a Year for a New Year,'' which feels 9/11-''inspired'' and may be as applicable this Dec. 31.
