The corniest songs of 1999 poll was won by LFO, who I always thought were a British bleep techno band from the 90's, so I'm thinking how corny could that song be, really?
I only just now learned that there are actually two LFO's, and one of them is an american boy band.

ONUKA / ODESZA.

Bob Lefsetz has seen the future of music and it’s a Ukrainian EDM act? Oh, wait...

Randys Crawford and Newman, in the past, although I've got a pretty good handle on them now.

See also Steely Dan / Steeleye Span.

Hubert Laws and Herbie Mann. I should probably know better.

Jawbox/Jawbreaker

I saw one of these bands perform once. I *still* have no idea which one it was.

I distinctly remember struggling with the Go-Go's vs the Go-Betweens for a while as a child!

phil manzanera / ray manzarek

Dirty Projectors and New Pornographers, not remotely similar - I think it's something to do with a New Pornographers' album having a projector on the cover?

Grantman, Friday, 2 April 2021 16:16 (five years ago)

maybe your brain is inclined to link "dirty" with "porn"

Evan, Friday, 2 April 2021 16:54 (five years ago)

A Dirty Pornographer might use a New Projector

Evan, Friday, 2 April 2021 16:55 (five years ago)

I think I may at times have conflated Soul Coughing and Collapsed Lung. Amused at the logic there.

Legitimate Interest (Noel Emits), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 16:51 (five years ago)

Diry Projectors / Fiery Furnaces / Magic Numbers - no idea what these are or what distinguishes them and herein revel in the ignorance. New Pornographers at least sound like they are multiple humans.

Legitimate Interest (Noel Emits), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 16:58 (five years ago)

^Rolling Stones?

Yawnsomely Literal Cover Band (morrisp), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 17:01 (five years ago)
