The ones I know of:
Aiwa- Another One Bites The Dust
Pepsi- I want it all
Coke- I want to break free
Are there any others? and do you guys feel that when bands authorize the use of their songs in commercials that they are "selling out?" I'm ok with it..

You all forgot about We Are The Champions for the Viagra commercial. When I first saw that commercial, it REALLY pissed me off. Who was in charge of allowing that decision? Brian? Mary Austin? I don't know who is in charge of Freddie's music.

No, it was for "Pieterburen", a place for sick/wounded/found seals.
At least, here in Holland.

Here you can find and watch that commercial.
fill in "Pieterburen" and press "Zoeken" in the green/white area then you'll get a small picture

driven by you was in a ford commercial i think, but it's brian's song, not Queen...
You don't have to ask the bands permission if you want to use their music. It is polite to do so, but you don't have to do it.
When you are an artist you are registered at a copyrights company (I don't know what it is called in England) but here in holland it's BUMA/Stemra. If you want to use music in a commercial you pay the copyright company, and they will pay the money to the person(s) who have the copyrights to the song.
So you dont'have to ask permission, you only have to pay money. But I guess if the artist finds the commercial or movie or whatever inappropriate they can always ask to remove their work from it
