    Can you remember any of the lines? With even one lyric and a willingness to keep tweaking till you find the exact phrase you can almost ALWAYS find out what song it is. That was how I figured out what was for a long time my musical bête noire; the Pixes covering "I can't forget" by Leonard Cohen. The contrast between Pixies sound and Cohen poetry-lyrics left me confounded. I thought it must be a Replacements tune for easily three years. Since this was internet early days, the result is that I have EVERY LAST Replacements album, rarity, b-side, special session and fucking scrap of live material, including a horrifyingly large collection of bootlegs. Which is sad, because while there are some few Replacements tracks I love I'm mostly not that big a fan...

    If the lyrics thing DOESN'T work, the best second option if you know NOTHING but what the song sounds like is to try something like " 'sounds like X' review album." You'll want the advanced search, as much date restriction as you dare... if you first heard it recently, I would work from now backwards in 6-9 month intervals. You'll need as many logical ORs as you can manage, and synonyms and anything else you can think of.

    Honestly, that second one will be a bitch and a half; it is the kind of problem that I would try and solve with grep, awk, sed and prayer in a shell script. Not because it work better, but because the added practice would make the whole tedious nightmare seem less of a completely waste since I would have at least built skills.

    I do hope this helps. Honestly, if the first one doesn't work I'd hope to either find someone (ie, a DJ) to ask or hope to hear it again.
