That can be fun at first, then it gets a little old, at least for me so what I do is play one artist's songs for a while, then change to another and so on.

The upside is that you take the style of your favorite artists and merge them into your skills, re-defining who you are. That's an interesting journey. It's not about "playing like someone else" it is really becoming a better version of yourself.
I hear you Barry and understand what you are saying. Makes a lot of sense.

my 2 cents
Its a beautiful song. Here you go...
