I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Friday, 4 June 2010 13:46 (sixteen years ago)

As has become evident on another thread somewhere up in here, I get the Pink bands confused: Pink Reason, Pink Noise, Pink I-Think-There's-a-Couple-More...

a friend and I have a tiresome running joke [via Obvious jokes/puns that people always make as though they were the first persons to think of them] about a sitcom where those three musicians rent a house together

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

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.

David Lynch and whoever that other Lynch chick not a director is. Ok, I guess I can actually distinguish between them. It's just whenever I see the other Lynch the first image that pops up in my mind is David and then .00052 seconds later I realize it's a reference to the other.

Paul Young (Sad Café and Mike + The Mechanics) and Paul Young ("Wherever I Lay My Hat", "Come Back And Stay" and so on) tend to be mixed up a lot for obvious reasons. The latter was even mourned in various places when they former died.

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Saturday, 8 January 2011 00:01 (fifteen years ago)

Also tend to mix up Anthrax and Megadeth, probably for partly the same reasons why some have Built To Spill and Guided By Voices mixed up.
