Music in Commercials
Bunnyman:
I generally refuse to listen to a song if I hear it in a commercial. It just destroys the indie cred, y'know? More pathological on my part than anything.
I like to forget RJD2's "Ghostwriter" was used in some car commerical.
Nonetheless, witness the final word in awesome commercials.
theenginedriver:
it always makes really incredibly sad to hear good music in commercials.
TrueNeutral:
I don't watch TV so I don't have to see it, and it gives my favourite artists extra money to get better production values. It's a win-win situation.

I think I would be strangely flattered by that. I mean they must really think he is awesome to go out of their way to actually find someone who only SOUNDS like him. Pissed off, sure, but also kind of flattered ;)

That sounds like what happened when Muse's cover of Feeling Good was used in a Nescafe ad. After a few weeks it was changed to a soundalike.
