Paramore's Hayley Williams picked pop star Mariah Carey’s "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

"I grew up on it -- not iTunes, the CD, the real thing," Williams says of Carey's 1994 album, Merry Christmas. "It’s not Christmas until I put it on."

The Strokes' Albert Hammond, Jr. volunteered a more kid-friendly selection in Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song."

"Christmas with the Chipmunks was the first vinyl I had as a kid," Hammond says.

The Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon, meanwhile, takes a punkier approach to his Christmas music, picking The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York."

"One Christmas Eve they played ['Fairytale of New York'] on VH1. I called my local record store to see if they [were] still open and they had the tape of If I Should Fall from Grace with God," Falllon remembers. "So I ran there and bought it. They’re a great band."
