Albert Finney / Brian Cox - who don't really look that similar to me, but I often get them confused. Particularly after watching the 2nd and 3rd Bourne movies over the past two days where they played similar-ish roles.

Michael Jacksons Beat It & Billy Jean
― Ste, Monday, 14 January 2008 09:49 (sixteen years ago) link
But they're easy to tell apart: "Beat It" begins with a guitar riff and "Billy Jean" with a synth riff.
― Tuomas, Monday, 14 January 2008 11:35 (sixteen years ago) link
it's not so much when i'm listening to them, it's more when i'm talking about them to someone else. Or if Beat It comes on the radio I say "oh i think this is my fave jacko tune" and then realise its not, it's billy jean.
― Ste, Monday, 14 January 2008 11:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I can get that. I always mix "We Are the World" and Jacko's "Heal the World" in my head, to the extent of singing the lyrics of the latter to the tune of the former.

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.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 3 April 2008 11:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Steeleye Span was a folkish band whereas Steely Dan was R&B and jazz inflected. To help you out.
