Page 1 of 1
Most music and musicians have a stylistic debt somewhere or another. So this list pairs songs and folks from different eras that seem to be kindred spirits. For instance, Blondie and Lily Allen don't always sound like each other, but their songs below are similarly tropical and jaunty. In all, whether looking for old jams or new beats, this list is a good excuse to pop in your earbuds and zip around the neighborhood.
