Whoa, I really like both the Persian songs you posted. (I also had no idea until I looked it up just now that "Persian" is the preferred name for the language.) Your music definitely pushes Farsi (Persian?) up near the top of my language bucket list. I absolutely love Dutch music and translating songs has been tons of fun for me throughout the process, so finding out I like Farsi music too is a nice push in another direction.
Honestly, I am more likely to say Farsi everywhere except on language forums, where I have been seriously scolded in the past for using that term. Persian, Farsi… both are fine with me! 
To round out this post, I'll include some more Persian songs that I really love:
Cheshme Siat by Mansour < The "old school" music video for this one is awesome!
Halimeh by Sandy < funny video also
Slower songs:
Ye Shabe Mahtab by Farhad <<< wow, Persian sounds beautiful in this song
Sange Saboor by Mohsen Chavoshi < This is from the movie "Santoori"
I hope you like at least one song.

Thanks for the Persian music; I will definitely use these songs for my next language mission! I highly recommend checking out Niyaz not only because they are my favorite music group but they also sing in Turkish, Urdu and Persian (not sure if Dari or Farsi is used). I would say that 90% of their songs are in Persian. The reason I hesitate to say Farsi is because many of their songs are old poems by Yalal ad-Din Muhammad Baljí (also known as Rumi or Mevlan) who was originally from Afghanistan where the Dari dialect is spoken. Anyway, I highly recommend you check them out:
Niyaz "Allahi Allah (live)": (Persian)
Niyaz "Beni Beni" feature=related (Turkish)
Azam Ali (singer of Niyaz) "Spring Arrives" (Persian)
I hope that you guys enjoy this group as much as I do

Umut Kaya "Mor Yazma" (Rock with lyrics below)
Umut Kaya "Mevsimler Gecerken" (Rock)
Yusuf Güney "Aşka İnat" feature=feedlik (catchy pop)
Sertab Erener "Bu Böyle" (pop with subtitles so that you can read along)
Again, enjoy

For Turkish music I listen to Bandista sometimes, who offer much of their music as a free download via their site: http://tayfabandista.org/bandsista/
I am looking for more, though. Will definitely check out the recommendations upthread.
