Now for some old guys (likely younger than me) doing a cover of Purple Rain. I really like this track. By Vintage Drummer with BRutherz

see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxMHcljKLn8

(the optics of these guys remind me a bit of when I went to a bar in St. Louis sometime in 1985 to see my favorite local New Wave band (Times Beach) but I had the week wrong and it was some rough-looking country guys instead. I wasn't looking forward to their set. But when they first off played Little Red Corvette in a stunning cover I was impressed and stayed! Sometimes you just can't tell a book by the cover.)

@fffred wow, just wow, and thank you! At first glance I would have felt they were a parody, but they aren't racist, terrible people; they are musicians appreciating other musicians! Thank you!

[fffred]

Here's one that's "new to me". I was introduced to this by my Google speaker; it would play this consistently after I requested a particular song that seemed to have no connection to this one. It took me a couple months to track this down and I couldn't believe that it was a Tommy James song from the 1960's! It sounds like it could have been from any decade since then, and more like a punk rock song. "Moses and Me". Hear it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LINnFHH_ERI

Great post! Totally forgot about this song but glad you were inadvertently re-directed! Thanks, @fffred !

i love exploring new music (or old music that is new to me) via YouTube and other means, all different types. I also like watching visuals... videos of live musicians or music videos such as became popular with MTV. I will post two such tracks now:

First, a Korean popular musician, Sumin. I love the song and am entranced with the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzAEArqspp8

Second, a newer trio that plays one of my favorite genres, Cumbia (Mexican and Central/South American rock). These guys "rock". Name is La Lom and it took me forever to find out this comes from "Los Angeles League of Musicians", Love these guys. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FWmMVAxueU

Bonus!  Another newer cumbia band; shockingly, out of Berlin! Los Baby Jaguars (Jaguars play a mystical role in Central American culture). Try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-aYnTFsqFg

(as always be certain to be cautious with unknown links on the 'net)

Tears For Fears - Mad World

[fffred]

I didn't like Tears for Fears much the first time around but I later came to appreciate them. "Mad World" is one of those songs that I like to listen to (seek out) interesting cover versions of. Striking two marks with one stone, I like this cover of Mad World by Postmodern Jukebox with two intriguing vocalists...the matching of these two is great!
