there are a couple famous blues names and jazz names where more than one guy (a decade or two apart maybe) has the same name, and those always confuse me.
Sonny Boy Williamson/Sonny Boy Williamson
There's an obvious double jazz name too...Bill Evans, maybe? But I don't think that's even the best one.
And yeah, John Cale and JJ Cale is a great one.

Listening to Orbital's remix of The Orb's "Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain that Rules from the Center of the Ultraworld" didn't help.
It's more confusing than this: there is no such thing. Before the group Orbital came along, The Orb used to call the remixes they made for other people (and themselves) "Orbital Something Or Other Mix" and "Orbital Twee Nonsense Mix"

Someone once told me they found a Lambert, Hendrick and Ross CD filed under The Supremes at Tower Records.

The Bill Evans confusion was mentioned upthread: the more famous Bill Evans was a pianist who played with Miles in the 50s, the other Bill Evans a saxophonist who played with Miles in the 80s.

I disagree with Ian, above, who suggested this was the worst thread in ILX history. It may not be ILX at it's most insightful, but there are some inspired moments. I don't know why it's so funny but I can't stop laughing at Tim Buckley/Timbuk 3.
