....then you have to check out Rock Sugar.
A guy at a 4th of July party introduced me to them. They mix the songs of 80's hairbands with 80's pop songs. I know it sound like it's be a bad combo, but the end results sound awesome (IMHO).
You can find examples of their songs on YouTube (Their not on iTunes yet, but I hope they are soon)
Their site (rocksugarband.com) has funny tongue-in-cheek explanation of how they came to be. However there's another YouTube clip where they talk about how they really came together by chance.
'Shook me like a Prayer' is my favorite so far. Though I really I like 'Dreaming of a whole lotta Breakfast' too.
BTW: great party game: play these songs for the drunkest poeple and ask them to name them

Maybe, just maybe, because when all's said and done they're just a karaoke band?
Why would you want to listen to that when you can listen to the latest Pretty Maids or Axel Rudi Pell?

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Well, Rock Sugar does have a really good vocalist and a Grammy winning drummer. I'm not saying they're great, but they are entertaining and do put on a good live show (which is something very few bands can pull off).

I think they're a bit more than that. Anyone can just cover a song. It does take some talent to blend two dissimilar songs into something else. I don't typically like mash-ups, but I do enjoy these.
Because they entertain two different mindsets.
