The 'OK Computer' connection.
'OK Computer' is the 1997 album by Radiohead. Brad Pitt said he listened to it all the time during filming, and from the lyrics and cover design, maybe the director did too. In the time-line, it is also possible that they have read the book, since
that was published in 1996.

Lucky.
One of the support groups on the printed list is called 'Glorious Day',
the main point of the lyrics to 'Lucky'. What more proof do you need?
Airbag
Paranoid Android
Let Down
'Let Down' has Thom actually singing a duet with himself.
Fitter, Happier
Climbing The Walls
This has startlingly relevant lyrics to the scene of Tyler in the basement.
No Surprises.
"I believe that that song is the most relevant. It is consistent the whole way through with the theme of "Fight Club". All of the lyrics describe the Narrator -- his life is (was) boring and aimless. No surprises." J.C. Hoyt
