Again, as someone who does this evil job for a living (buying music from artists to use in commercials) , I am not out to ruin your memories, fuck with your sacred bands, or piss you off. I am just out to make the best commercial I can with what I a have. And its a proven fact people like commercials with 'known' music better than unknown. Now, having said that, I live in Canada, and mu budgets usually cannot affford big name bands for our spots. I give most of my business to a music house in Toronto called Eggplant who write original music fo my commercials, but sometimes a known track is needed, And if those people want to sell it to me, well then we both are happy.

Bit then again, I only write GOOD commercials. I still do cringe every time the Swiffer spot comes on with the Devo song.. glood lord!
