Line 191:
* One track on the [[Space Channel 5]] Part 2 soundtrack, "Mellow Medley", is a medley of Space Channel 5 songs done in the style of 16-bit game music.
* Max Raabe & Palast Orchester are a faux 20s jazz orchestra from [[Berlin]], they cover modern popsongs in this style as well.
* As any Authentic Mississippi Delta Blues Aficionado [[Tradesnark™|™]] will testify, Robert Leroy Johnson is well-known as the great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of Authentic Mississippi Delta Blues Music [[Running Gag|™]]. Johnson was well-known for his mastery on guitar, small back-catalogue of hard-to-find blues recordings, [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll|wild lifestyle]], his untimely [[Dead Artists Are Better|death at the age of 27]], and for the mystique of [[Deal with the Devil|having sold his soul to 'Ol Scratch]] down by the Crossroads in exchange for going from a marginal talent playing an out-of-tune guitar to inventor of the modern blues style in such a short period of time.

* [[Lupe Fiasco]]'s "1985" which was done in the style of rappers of that year.
* [[Franz Ferdinand]] has an addiction to old equipment, especially if German or Soviet. Particularly notable is the ancient Soviet synthesizer they used for their third album (''Tonight: Franz Ferdinand'') which had been designed by Soviet engineers as an imitation of Western models without actually ever having seen the innards of a Western synthesizer.
