There is a perfume advert over here (uk) using Just Like Honey by The Jesus and Mary Chain. Having been to a few J&MC gigs back in the day I can only imagine that the perfume has an aroma of patuli oil, Stale piss and Tennants Super

I'll never forget seeing a band I had never heard of opening for The Replacements, Fall 1984, Oklahoma City. They totally blew the roof off the place. That band? The Who.

Other Alternative bands of the 80's that later had songs used in commercials:

Led Zep, Rock & Roll - Cadillac commercials
Rolling Stones, Start Me Up - Windows 95
Hank Jr - Monday Night Football
I don't give a damn if it is tweety, that is the type of sarcastic wit that makes me laugh out loud.

Interestingly, Such Great Heights (postal service) is also used in those UPS whiteboard ads, no?

a couple of more:
robert plant & alison krauss-killing the blues-j c penney
the kinks-everybody's a star-target

also check out the soundtracks from grey's anatomy & friday night lights. they are rife with alt songs.

and, if you will recall, one of my favorite hbo series, six feet under, utilized some great music including:
one time too many-p j harvey
bohemian like you-the dandy warhols
lucky-radiohead
transatlanticism-death cab for cutie
cold wind-the arcade fire
