What is Contemporary?

Hey everyone, been real busy today trying to make up a list of old music that has been made contemporary and as a result I'm partially deaf, hmm that wasn't very smart, was it.

So with the help of Spotify and YouTube I got to work.
I never knew how many covers there were just knocking around on YouTube, although most of the class would just say they're s**t because they're not in the top40 LOL

Here's just one video that I found and instantly loved.
It's by a small band called Azero and is an epic punk cover of The Beatles "Let It Be"

I'm definitely thinking of looking them up just to see what their other music sounds like as I loved this song so much and was planing to cover it myself before I got told that it would just take too long to do for what we were all working towards.

So, more about why I'm currently doing this:
Because I decided it would be a great idea to pick a Diploma to do for the next two years instead of just A-Levels I'm now part of this 'Creative and Media' night where our main goal is to put on a night where we show of what we can do in the Lesson.
"But that sounds easy"
Ahh you may think so but as usual there's a catch, everything has to be a contemporised version of an existing piece of art or music or film (you get the general idea.)
My job was apart from recording a contemporised version of 'Fur Elise' I had to find as much music as I could to play when people were entering at the start of the night.
I've just shown you one of the videos I found so its only right that I show you the rest:

That's what I have at the moment but I need more.
If yo can think of any more that are from the same period in time as The Beatles that have been covered to sound contemporary (more modern) then please let me know because I said in my firs ever blog "I have no common sense" :P
