Today's great eight are songs from bands already somewhat established in the indie world and have crossed over in some way, shape, or form into the mainstream. A few have had songs featured on popular television shows or in trendy commercials, others received airplay on Top 40 stations and became known for their uniqueness in a bland world. Some have been around longer than others, but they all rock and are worth checking out, if you haven't already done so. Enjoy!
The Black Keys - I Got Mine (from Attack and Release, April 2008)
