Also, the Von Bondies and the Dandy Warhols. It's all the same to me.

Thrills, Chills and isn't there a band called The Kills too?

I do confuse Robert Palmer and Robert Plant when talking about either of them, though, which is dumb.
And I still don't know the difference between Corey Hart and John Waite.

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.

it's the 'The St...s' thing I tell you. What's with all these bands with names that have similar shapes?
― jellybean (jellybean), Monday, 19 April 2004 14:06 (twenty years ago) link
I don't know how this started considering the names are only similar in the vaguest ways (so this may be cheating a little) but or some reason since I learned of the two groups I've consisently confused The Flaming Lips and The Legendary Pink Dots. Got much better at distinguishing the two more recently but for a good long time whenever one was brought up I thought the other was being reffered to.

Acid King and Acid Witch
so much so that Acid Witch was announced at Hell in the Harbor festival, and I'd been spending time with Acid KING'S new album and old albums over the last few months only to realize TODAY it's ACID WITCH, NOT KING

Weezer, Wheatus and Ween. Ridiculous, I know.
― JifMoose, Friday, 10 November 2023 18:57 (five months ago) link
Totally get Weezer and Ween, since I've never listened to either and they're both alt rock from the 90s.
I have just realized that Eddie Chacon is not Eddie Marcon

Do you think this young band chose the name as a tribute? Or are they unaware (or just don’t care) about the precedent?:https://teenjesusandthejeanteasers.bandcamp.com/album/i-love-you
― Godzilla Minus Zero/No Limit (morrisp), Tuesday, 2 January 2024 06:19 (four months ago) link
that seems like sufficiently obvious obnoxiousness that it could be discovered without awareness of precedent.

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)
