Searched and didn't find anything similar.

This seems like a fun thing to talk about, too.

I'm going to get this joke out of the way for you before we start, though:

Grievance: It is a song by the Dave Matthews Band that is performed by the Dave Matthews Band and adored by fans of the Dave Matthews Band.

I think Send Me An Angel, by Real Life is a great synth pop song.

It has a great opening riff, and the bass hits are kind of cool. I can even handle the angelic vocalizin' in the catchy chorus.
I'm a sucker for Prophet 5 pads.

What I can NOT handle is that bullshit shred solo that sounds like it's out of a porno film. Who's idea was that? Really. Did Floyd Rose pay for product placement?

PS- The video is no prize either.

You mean this one?

the Silver Jews' New Orleans

The part where Malkmus is screaming "WE'RE TRAPPED INSIDE THIS SONG"

Powerslave by Iron Maiden.
What a great song! The first 2-3 minutes are mindblowing heavy metal. But then they have 4 minutes of....some riff based around Bm. Sure they fancy up the rhythm a bit, but it's mostly an excuse for a long, boring guitar solo. And then they play the Bm sequence really fast, for a fast boring guitar solo. But then the last chorus ends on an amazing riff that is sooo met-al it almost makes up for the boring part. Almost.
Man I love the verses and choruses in that song though. Middle section (ie most of the song)? Fuck it.

You could always rent Rad. That song underscored a montage of slo-mo BMX tricks. Cru Jones!

Song: 'Slack mother-fucker' by Superchunk.

Grievance: Either the bass part is wrong, or the guitar part. Either would work with the vocals, but they don't work together.

Song: 'Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope' by Husker Du.

Grievance: The bass part in the verses should resolve to G at the end of each assention, but it just holds on the F#.

Whoa. I never thought that was supposed to be a dude singing that one (that is supposed to be a dude in the lip-sync sections, right?)

I really always thought it was a Euro lady whose voice just kinda sorta sounded like Klaus Meine...

EDIT: OK, joke's on me... this is obviously a paid actor doing the lip-sync, right?

Song: Any well written or otherwise harmless Springsteen song.

Grievance: 80's production. i.e. synth icicles, saxaphone, bad drums, etc...

Song: The Pelican by Menomena

Greivance: The clipping cymbal sound during the "rock out instrumental bit" a little over halfway through the song. The off kilter drums make this part of the song even more cacophonous, which i love, except that little ticking sound doesn't fit and sounds like a cd that is skipping, which sets off a rage sensor in my head and completely distracts me.
