I was trying to remember which soundalike I confused with Flying Lotus. Turns out it was White Rainbow. Not sure where I'm coming from with that one.

Sly Stone and Sly Fox. Especially their music.

Steve Khan / Steve Kuhn

Yup. I think the first guy is the son of Sammy Cahn. There is also a Latin percussionist Steve Kroon, to add to the confusion.

not artists, but i constantly forget "dream pop" is different than "sunshine pop" and am disappointed by the lack of buoyant fifth dimension & turtles songs

David Lasley / David Lindley

xhuxk, Monday, 1 November 2010 13:47 (fifteen years ago)

A lot of these seem to be instances where the spelling or names are similar.

Not me (of course), but many people think Robert Palmer and Robert Plant are the same guy.
It's easy to get Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams mixed up because of the similar spelling.

Amerie, Ciara, Cassie, Toya, Kandi, Lil' Mo and Nivea are interchangeable artists in the same genre.
Allure, Xscape, Brownstone, Total and SWV were all similar and interchangeable and easy to mix up as well.
