VA - POPelganger & ROCKelganger (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CD's)




POP & ROCK SOUNDALIKES

VA - POPelganger & ROCKelganger (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CD's)


A doppelgänger is a non-biologically related look-alike or double of a living person... Popelgangers & Rockelgangers are artists that, in most cases, purposely imitate the established style of another artist. Sometime they do such a good job that it is difficult to differentiate the two artists. Sometimes its one of our favourite artists that sound like other great artists we know.

When I first heard these songs I had to think twice to know who the artist was. Sometimes it was the voice, sometimes it was the music, sometimes a track seems the same but at a slower of faster tempo. Whatever the reasons  for that mind-flip are, it is because it sounds unmistakably similar to another artists work. So here are 120 tracks that will cause confusion at times but all-in-all are still great to listen to. See if you believe the artist playing is deliberately channeling another artist or not. Enjoy!

  1. Thank you for these - and the previous volumes as well. A fantastic idea and an excellent execution.
    One correction though - 87 Mouse and the Traps - A Public Execution [Bob Dylan] 2:47 1997 is actually from 1966.

    1. Oops! you are correct YankeeBoy.
      I need to be more careful. Seriously, I hate it when that happens.
      Thanks for letting me know and your kind words.

      Cheers

    2. I just checked out Rumer, per your suggestion - I definitely hear a rich tone and sound of Karen in her voice; thank you for guiding me to this sweet, new discovery; cheers!

  4. Hi Butterboy,

    cannot find the first part of this compilation! Does it have a different name?

    One other thing: Did you know that "Popel" is the word for bogey/boogers? So "Popelgänger" sounds really funny to me :)

      Some words translations can be very funny around the world. I just hope they are not offensive.


      Cheers.
