Your list isn't great for me, I like REM and one or two songs of The Thrills but I don' really know anything else and I am definitely not a fan of Elton John or Simply Red.

Arcade Fire - In The Back Seat
Brand New - Good To Know If I Ever Need Attention, All I Have To Do Is Die
Pixies - Velouria
Dinosaur Jr - The Post
Pavement - Heaven Is A Truck
The Smashing Pumpkins - Suffer
Elliott Smith - No Name #4
Mudhoney - I'm Spun
The Distillers - Drain The Blood
Sonic Youth - Reena
