The worst was Modern English's Melt With You being used for a Burger King cheeseburger ad.
I'll bet anything they were high-fiving each other over how clever that was.

Sorry Marv. I'm kind of against the whole Commercial sellout thing. Just my opinion. For the artist though, i guess it's cool to still be making money from their music. I hate "It's crumb-believable" commercial.

Warhol was a hack. But a smart hack.

I don't really have a problem with it. It's not like it is the band making the loser commercials. Making money from licencing their tracks to commercials = less need to sell out when they make music.
Besides, I've been introduced to some great tracks from commercials, such as Telepopmusik's Breathe, and Hooverphonic's Renaissance Affair.

Maybe like the boomers, we're just the new target age demographic that can afford or needs to buy mops, coffee and burgers for our kids. So what did we like to listen to; ah, the new wave
