Maxine Nightengale is definitely correct, though David will have to confirm if that is indeed the Kinks' version of "Better Things." (Embarrassingly, I've only ever heard the Fountains of Wayne version!)

23 is indeed "Better Things" by the Kinks.

Not positive on this but #4 sounds like "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk.
DavidMedsker

Good guess, but incorrect. #4 is a brand-new song, actually.
DavidMedsker

Hmmm, looks as though I made these a tad too hard. Here are some clues:
1) Top 40 hit from UK pop trio 3) There is a piece on Popdose about one woman's drive to get this band into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 4) 2008 single from Australian dance-rock trio. 6) Song from one of two albums this Hall of Famer released at the same time. 10) Song from Westerbergians. 14) Song from third album by sensitive Scots 17) Song from sophomore album by Canadian supergroup 19) Debut single by groundbreaking acoustic duo 20) Mid-period B-side from Birmingham quintet, then trio, then quintet again, then quartet, then trio again, then quintet again, now quartet. 22) Lead song from M/F alt-pop duo's fab orchestral album
