Looking at your choices, you might enjoy a root around in this thread. You will need a bit of patience, because Youtube is constantly deleting content, so some of the links don't work. You will certainly encounter plenty of excellent Elvis Costello, lots of Eels and endless 70s and 80s nonsense.

I'll Wear It Proudly, All The Rage - Elvis Costello.

Things the Grandchildren Should Know, Last Stop This Town, A song that begins with F and rhymes with 'trucker' - Eels

Untouchable Face, Dilate - Ani DiFranco

Brickbat - Billy Bragg

Landed - Ben Folds

Tear in Your Hand - Tori Amos
