It would probably help if I had any of these in my collection.

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)

For me it was always Built to Spill and Shudder to Think.
And I think there are about four different techno guys named Amon or Tobin who I always think are the same person, plus one in Cibo Matto, but I forget their names right now.
Also, Atlanta Rhythm Section/Amazing Rhythm Aces always confounded me.
And yeah Jawbox/Jawbreaker; I will third or fourth or fifth that one.
There are many more, which I may remember eventually.

I'll make it a trifecta by putting the Sun City Girls into this mix of name confusion...i get all three mixed up.

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!!
