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!

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

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

Awesome selection, and you never disappoint, Butter - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Aging Child. Appreciated.
DeleteDespite my mess up with the date of track 87, I am really happy with this compilation.
Cheers.
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!
DeleteHi Butterboy, thanks again!!! Please be so kind and reup VA - Epic Jams CD1+CD2+CD3 (A Butterboy Compilation) in smaller parts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Butterboy,
ReplyDeletecannot 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.

No, it's not offensive at all.
