How about: The Dream Syndicate & The Dream Academy!

I used to get The Pixies and The Posies mixed up before I became more familiar with The Pixies.

Quote:

Blink 182 & Matchbox 20

Have no idea which is which, except I know Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas sang "Smooth."

Are there any bands that you used to always get mixed up? I always used to get these ones mixed up;

The Verve & The Verve Pipe
My Morning Jacket & My Chemical Romance

Whitesnake & Great White & White Lion
Super Furry Animals & Animal Collective
Bad Brains & Bad Religion
Dead Milkmen & Dead Kennedys
Ciara & Sia & Miya & Aliyah & Keisha & Rhianna & Brianna
Cracker & Uncle Kracker
Spaceman 3 & Man or Astro-man?
Black Flag & Big Black

Empire of the Sun & Black Sun Empire & Godspeed You Black Emperor
Blink 182 & Matchbox 20
3 Doors Down & Third Eye Blind
The Meat Puppets & The Minutemen
The Church & Lords of the New Church & Sisters of Mercy
The Marshall Tucker Band & Molly Hatchet
Front 242 & Level 42
Triumph & Triumvirat
Blind Melon & Blind Lemon
The Def-tones & The Del-lords

some of them don't make a lot of sense (Front 242 and Level 42) but hilarious anyway and you certainly have a point with Black Flag/Big Black (which one had Albini and which one had Rollins 🤔 ) and Meat Puppets/Minutemen.

Well, sometimes it's just the names themselves I mix up because of their similarity. Front 242 and Level 42 both have "42" in them. It's not their music I confuse but their names. And other times it's just that the band's music are so similar that I can't remember which is which. And also, bands that came out at about the same time I tend to mix up, for instance Meat Puppets and Minutemen.

Interesting thread. I can't say for sure I get bands mixed up by name, but more often than I'd like to admit I'll be hearing a song and I'm like oh this is totally Queen, and then I find out it's Kansas or some band I never really took the time to listen to cause they sound just like Queen.

And no actually none of that actually happened - I can't really think of a good example, but replace Queen and Kansas with any other band names and you likely have yourself a story to tell.

I suppose one when I was a kid was White Room. Until I was like 16 or so, I thought White Room was a Jimi Hendrix song until I dug in further.

I mean hell I thought that was a Eric Clapton song until this year when I looked into the credits/saw it performed live on YouTube. Totally a Jack Bruce song, Eric is just playing the cool guitar parts, but the structure of the song and melody/singing totally Jack Bruce. Same with Sunshine of Your Love.

Then I realized I nearly don't like anything Eric Clapton has done...

Ok I've chased the rabbit enough.

So many people have told me but they thought it was Eric Clapton singing on white room. I don't quite remember if I ever did, what Jack Bruce is my favorite singer white room is my favorite 60s song.

This is especially true with the band names that are single words like Opeth.

Metal can be very cool and very boring - I suppose just like any genre. Punk suffers the same monotony at times.

I also have a funny story on mix ups. When I was young I knew the Kinks for their major hits like anybody else. When I heard some excerpts from One For The Road (which has a bit of a hardrock sound; I don't know which ones any more but it certainly wasn't Lola) on a late night radio show I didn't connect them with the Kinks but I thought they were from an unknown band called the Kings.
Anyway a few months later I saw the light and bought this live album which I still think is one of the best live albums ever.

... no offence, I think you get tripped up pretty easily on names.

LMAO. That's probably true. But whenever I hear these names, I have to think for a second, "which one is that?" Of course, this is usually before I've ever heard their music, but only have heard their names. After you're familiar with the artist, it doesn't happen as much. Half of these people I've heard their names but not their music, so I still don't know which is which. Heh heh.
