Performers with names that practiclly rhyme?

Chuck Berry/Chu Berry

+ Buckcherry

Ha ha, so Buckcherry is an anagram of Chuck Berry ... I never knew there was any point to that name until now.

Jichael Mackson / Michael Jackson

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.

This Mortal Coil/Coil
Fela Kuti/Femi Kuti (I know)

Killing Joke/Killer Joe
Stranglers/Strangelove
House of Love/House of Pain
Julian Cope/Citizen Cope

Ha ha, so Buckcherry is an anagram of Chuck Berry ... I never knew there was any point to that name until now.

It is, but they're named after an infamous L.A. drag queen.

....or so I read. I mean, who cares, really?

Once had a 'conversation' about music that quickly degenerated into such obtuse nonsense that I thought one(or both) of us were going insane. Turned out that the other guy thought I'd cited 'Counting Crows' at the beginning of the discussion, when I had really said 'Cannibal Corpse'

That Dark Angel/Death Angel confusion reminds of 1987/88 when I was in Dr. Disc, visiting with friends who worked there, and this 35-ish metalhead comes in wanting to return this album by (the Canadian) Slaughter... http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4506/908313170x170mc8.jpg ...which he'd bought by mistake, thinking it was Slayer.
