Ah yes....also I think Casey Kasem said that when Stealers Wheel's Gerry Rafferty performed "Stuck in the Middle with You," he was trying to imitate Bob Dylan....but nobody (including me) really noticed....

Not sure if the country classic "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" crossed over to the pop charts.  David Allan Coe imitates Waylon Jennings, Charlie Pride, and Merle Haggard.

"Uptown Girl," Billy Joel very obviously pays tribute to the Four Seasons.

"Lies," Knickerbockers, sounded more like the Beatles than any other group, except for the Beatles themselves.
