@Justjoeindenver
I've obviously heard this song before, but it's played to denote some type of war between two or more people.

Carmina Burana, by Orff. it's got to be in just about every show at some point or another. Listen yourself and see.... http://www.emusic.com/album...

Pretty sure... that IS Grey's Anatomy. Or ANY show on ABC primetime.

Great article. It would be interesting to see an expansion of this that goes beyond contemporary/indie rock.

The Funniest thing is I've heard all of these songs at least 5 times on Smallville before

If you play all the songs at the same time... your computer starts doing jumping jacks.

i never watch tv but have actually heard a few of these on the rare occasions i've flipped through primetime shows in the last year or two, which probably means they come on a lot.

seeing as how i don't watch tv much though, i'm not sick of buckley, that's one of the greatest songs ever, even if it is a cover.

Push play on "superman" and "100 years" at the same time and you realize how Five for Fighting ripped off one of their own songs to get a quickie second hit!!

If you listen to 'Clubbed to Death' by Rob Dougan you'll see it's played tons as well in drama's and adverts. I do agree with this list though. Directors shouldd listen to some music every so often.

Don't forget these have also been overused on Smallville!

I'd never heard any of these until now. Go figure.

When I began your list, I had never heard the deathcab song on any show. But I KNEW it had to be on the list and I was not disappointed! There it is, lol.

A good song that was on House and I heard elsewhere was "Matthew Ryan - Follow The Leader". Follows the same rules lol.

I HATE that lifehouse song. >_< good list though.

Oh and don't forget about Breed Obsession by Gyroscope, I hear that song everywhere.

@Becky Yes, the whistle song. I think I heard on late night talk shows more than anything.

You forgot that Peter, Bjorn and John song "Young Folks." last fall that song was all over every show.

Without the songs, I don't think the show would be as powerful. It would just end. Think about Scrubs just ending without any music. I wouldn't watch the show or consider it anything special.

Gotta say, like most of the list but can't go with the Jeff Buckley.
