Do the words "Jane's Addiction" and "Shins" sound even remotely similar? This isn't about their music, it's about how similar the respective names are.

It doesn't make any sense to confuse those two, and yet, it does.

Replacements and Rembrandts, upon a time. I was aghast for a while that the 'Mats had reformed just to make the 'Friends' theme, before I realized my error.
Phil Collins/Peter Gabriel, because they're both overbearing ponces.
There's a band like Six By Seven that's Six From Seven or something, that I get mixed up with.

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.
