Your favorite YouTube "non-mainstream" music video

I've watched this one over and over and it just refuses to get old.

This was posted years ago and I became a fan and downloaded a few of his songs on ITunes. Plus its a Buick!

No Youtube music for this guy, but thanks for the Big Head Todd reminder. Added it to my Pandora today! Counting Crows, Sister Hazel and others play on the channel, good music!

 

Ed, That's some great stuff and it's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping you'd guys come up with. Love the sax and Buick! It's on my list! Thank you :gp:

Here's another sleeper with a Buick...

Mike, I like Imelda's deep voice and that's an entertaining video. Beeb's is quirky. It's so hard to find good female vocals but you might like this one. It does have some rap:

When I woke up from surgery after my heart transplant I wanted to hear this acoustic cover version of ELO's Eldorado so bad.

I had just ripped a CD of it from youtube a couple nights before.
My sister Vicki hopped in her car and drove 85 miles round trip to my house to grab the disc and my portable disc player to bring to me in the hospital.
I also like "The Bobs" version of psyco killer.

 

Anything by Walk Off The Earth

Their first major Youtube video was 5 of them playing one guitar to Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
But all of their videos have great production value. Some are like mini movies. ie. Gang of Rhythm
Some other good ones are
- Little Boxes
- Love Sponge
- Payphone
- Royals
- Red Hands

I saw them in person on last years tour and they're just as good live.

And one of my good friends and neighbors has a band called Dirty Shannon
If you like southern rock, you'll like all their stuff

Curtis,

Thanks for putting Walk Off the Earth in my life. Little Boxes is terrific! I also liked Payphone and Somebody I Used to Know (how'd they do that?) in that order. Red Hands had almost 9 million views. I never heard of them and I'm always bouncing around YouTube. I can't wait to share Little Boxes with friends and family.

I'm not much on instrumentals, but for a cover, this one has more emotion than Adele's version IMHO. They've pulled it off several times but it just keeps getting reposted:

I really like that Steve!! Thats a tune that'll get the blood pumping!

A friend of mine is a HUGE Walk Off the Earth fan. Shes been back stage multiple times, has signed instruments, all sorts of stuff. I admire how melodic they are. Not all of their music is my bag necessarily, but when Im in the mood for more mellow stuff they arent bad. Their version of Royals is better than any other Ive heard IMHO.

Their Royals is really good. I too like it better than the original
I saw them in person here in Orlando. I actually left it too late and the show sold out. So I posted on their facebook page how disappointed I was in waiting too long. Sarah posted back with her email address and said to email her. I did and she put my wife and I on the guest list and we got in for free! A great show too.

Paul,

DFWJ is disturbing. BUT I liked it!

 

I stumbled across this guy redoing an old Waylon Jennings tune. Not sure who this Hetfield guy is, but I kind like the "crunch" feel he gives the song.
