Here's the thing about styles. The ones that come with the program, "factory styles" specifically cannot sound too close to a classic song because of copyright issues. But, some still do. Years ago a thread was created where us users listed the styles that matched a bunch of songs fairly well, I think we found around 50. Some of them were just the chords where PG put in different melody lines in the demo. We could hear the chords to All Of Me but with a different melody. The Herbie style uses the piano lick from Cantaloupe Island for example. The AWB style is similar to Pick Up The Pieces. Still, similar only means similar, not exact. If you want exact you have to create the style yourself.

Styles like that must be midi because you cannot write in specific rhythms, or instrument lines using Real Tracks. This is where a hybrid style can be the best way to go. The RT's sound awesome they just cannot be modified to play exact things because they're prerecorded in a studio but there's nothing stopping you from using a midi bass or midi horn lines in a hybrid style.

One thing to keep in mind, if you create a style that closely matches one song, you can't really use it for anything else, it's a one trick pony. PG gives us styles that can be used for lots of things.
