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. Sometimes they do such a good job that it is difficult to differentiate the two artists. Sometimes it's 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 artist's 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!
