What Christmas songs should I get?

I'm planning on doing a quick sweep of Amazon and buying loads of Albums and singles. I was thinking about what Christmas songs specifically get. I've got all the classics but was looking for something more...rocky (Couldn't think of the word). What do you guys reccomend?

The three I've already got are:

Christmas time (Don't let the bells end) by the Darkness

A Fairytale of New York by No Use for a Name

Christmas in Hollywood by Hollywood Undead


Those are the sort of things I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
 
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but Dustin Kensrue, singer of the band Thrice, has a Christmas themed cd out called This Good Night Is Still Everywhere. Track listing:

1. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" — 2:34
2. "Christmas Blues" — 2:46
3. "Blue Christmas" — 1:56
4. "Fairytale of New York" — 4:22
5. "This Good Night Is Still Everywhere" — 2:51
6. "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" — 1:45
7. "O come, O come, Emmanuel" — 2:40
8. "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" — 2:37
