Artists with similar names that you get mixed up

Worst one for me is remembering which one of Swervedriver and Skrewdrive is the good shoegaze band and which is the presumably bad white supremacist band. Potential for awkward moments in that one now Swervedriver are gigging again!

Ha, I've mixed those two up in conversation before.

Anvil Bitch - Angel Witch

Dan Fogelberg and Deeds of Flesh

― Elvin Wayburn Phillips, Saturday, August 1

hahaha

Monoton and Monolake

Unrest / Unwound

Performers with names that practically rhyme?

"Modest Mouse / Mouse On Mars"
absolutely! which was the electronic and which the indie rock band again? i don't care for either of them.

i confused the replacements with another group but have forgotten which one. it wasn't the residents.

Kid Creole / King Creosote

Fine Young Cannibals/Fun Lovin' Criminals

Roy Montgomery / Roy Buchanan

Neutral Milk Hotel / Three Mile Pilot
three word bands are just too much for my little brain...

Age of Chance/Art of Noise
Anthony Braxton/Toni Braxton

Stone Temple Pilots/Young Marble Giants

Joe Sun / Joe South

Momus/Matmos

June Christy/Chris Conner

If I hear one of them "blind" I always have give it a few seconds to figure out if its June or Chris

That's a good one. One minor thing: It's Connor.
Ron Affif/Roni Ben-Hur

dark lotus / flying lotus

Age of Chance/Art of Noise

even more confusing for some, given that they both covered Kiss.

Cardiacs / Cardigans

The Go-Betwewens?

Replacements/Descendents I bet

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.

unfortunate show experience on the weekend.

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
