I just realized I've always mixed up Steely Dan and Steeleye Span. Then again, I don't know much about either except that they were 70s rock bands.

Steeleye Span was a folkish band whereas Steely Dan was R&B and jazz inflected. To help you out.

I mean, what's the point of having two glam rock singers named "Stardust"? Which one of them came first?

I don't get them confused, per se, but I always seem to forget that Jeff Bridges' name isn't "Jeff Daniels". It takes me a second before I think, "Oh, wait. Jeff Daniels is that other guy."
