Blink 182 actually has a Christmas song that isn't awful...

The Pretenders - 2000 Miles
Amazing.
Also, The Pogues and Kirsty Maccoll - Fairytale of New York
I absolutely love that song.
On another note, I was looking through X-mas songs on iMusic, and I found on A Very Special Chrismas vol 3 Chris Cornell doing Ave Maria, it wasn't the best version of the song I've heard but it didn't suck.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this one yet. Possibly the greatest rock xmas song ever:
Kinks - Father Christmas
Yes. My favorite as well.
And, um, a simple comparison of "War Is Over" by John Lennon, and "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney should end any debate about who was the better Beatle.
