"Althea", i think? I watched a few minutes of it last night just for that reason. I know the one I heard was definitely "Althea". As soon as it stopped I changed the channel, so if they played another, I have no clue.

if it's the older song (mid-90's), then i think you are referring to Stabbing Westward's "Save Yourself"

There is one knocking around\nI think it was done as a live song on a morning radio show in Ireland, maybe Ryan Adams or Jack L  or someone like that\n it definitely exists though

The Buzzcocks.  Great song, though I can't say I care much for Pete Yorn's version.  "What do I get" was just playing not too long ago, I'll have to dig out my Buzzcocks stuff now and have a listening party.

Go to iTunes, check the Billboard listings.  For every year, there is a top 100 list.  You will find most of what you are looking for there.\n\nI did this the other day because I wanted to see what songs from the 90's I could pull up.  Sure enough they had all the songs I forgot about right there for me to download or sample.

Hey, Moon. Actually, I answered a similar question several months back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar508P_B4Wyt1zbNimNzmxXsy6IX?qid=1006032014570\n\nAnd I named some of my favourite '80s era bands even further back, which you can access here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmDmj_UH5dOiEe0KqohI_Dnsy6IX?qid=1006031200738\n\nI can recommend most or all of them very highly, especially the specific songs and artists on the first list. \n\nNow then, what is this particular song that you discovered weeks ago whilst reading one of your friend's lists of preferred music? Inquiring minds want to know! ;)
