I have no patience, however, for people who confused Rocket From the Tombs with Rocket From the Crypt. That makes no sense to me at all!!

Symmetrically similar names aside, both bands were (are?) also fairly boring '90s grunge-progsters, both were from around Toronto, and both made music that was largely forgettable (altho OLP's minor hit "Superman's Dead" was enjoyably annoying.)

Actually, I do have trouble keeping apart some of the NY Dolls/Dead Boys guys, and remembering who was in which band... Arthur Kane vs. Cheetah Chrome, etc.

Also, I thought there was an unknown German kraut rock band called Noy for at least a year, until I put it together that they had been talking about Neu!.
And though I don't get them confused, I always have a moment of hesitation whenever I have to speak the name of a composer with a non-intuitively pronounced name: Penderecki, Gorecki, Reich, Boulez, Xenakis.

This year was really confusing until I realised that Florence and the Machine is not Flossie and the Unicorns.
I keep thinking that the Rentals are the Adverts, who in turn I apparently think are the Members.
EDB's post reminds me that I confuse Kid Creole and Kid Congo Powers, but not the other way round.
