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

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

Re: Name That Tune, Game Thirty-Three

ken (gaper's blog) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:17:23 -0000

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