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.

And because Pig Destroyer did a track called "Black Dice" every time I see something about Black Dice I have to take a second to remember that they're not Pig Destroyer. If you see what I mean.

Also the Vines and the Hives.
(I used to conflate Bill Callaghan and Will Oldham, but that was justifiable confusion given how bastard often Oldham changes his stagename. honest.)

Same here, that's why I was amazed when Van Dyke Parks ended up working with Brian Wilson again. I was thinking, "but isn't he dead?"

Modest Mouse and Mouse on Mars
Akercocke and Agalloch
And as a teenager I thought for a while that Chuck Dukowski from Black Flag had a side career writing gritty literature about drunks in LA. Did I have him confused with Bukowski, or Henry Rollins?

I know which one's which. Kaito's from Norwich and has gurls in it, and Cayto are mad Scottish types. But when they come up in conversation, it gets very confusing indeed.
and if you throw Cato into the conversation as well...

(just the airplane theme and the fact that I used to confuse their old bands - Jawbox and Jawbreaker as Aja mentioned)

Hannah Georgas (musician)Hannah Giorgis (writer for the Atlantic)
I don't get them mixed up I just have to run a mental subroutine to verify which Hannah I'm reading about

I'm sure I've mentioned this before but for years I sorta ignored - very foolishly and to my detriment, it turns out - Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, because I was confusing them with emo band Sleeptime Trio (who were pretty good as I recall, just not really my thing these days)

I realised today that, even though I should know better because they're all very much in my wheelhouse and they're all actually pretty different and based in different countries, I often conflate:
