it was chi mcbride and charles dutton i always got mixed up. then i saw a picture of them both next to each other, and realized they are not very similar at all.

gigolo aunts were boston power pop, that bloom single was a huge local hit when i was in high school. i think they had chloe sevigny on the cover of their major label album?

was california tuffy that "oh palm trees, sway in the breeze, i'll be alone forever" song? that had a pretty good hook if i remember. dammit, now i'm going to have to search for that too.

wow, that video looks REALLY dated now.

that video is awesome though, kevin! it was giving me more of a "90s were pretty cool" thing than a "dated" thing.

but yes, rock band members in shorts and whatnot

Def Leppard, Deep Purple, and Jethro Tull.

Motley Crüe and Husker Dü.

It's just because of the names, I don't know any of these bands' music.

An opposite example: The Smiths and The Cure. Obviously I know that these are different bands with different images, but if just hear their music without any other information, I often mix them up.

what

Well, they're both sort of dangly, wailing indie bands with whiny vocalists. Of course if I see their videos I can tell them apart, because one is lead by a goth and the other one by a mod. But there isn't that much difference in the music.

hmmmm

Albert Finney / Brian Cox - who don't really look that similar to me, but I often get them confused. Particularly after watching the 2nd and 3rd Bourne movies over the past two days where they played similar-ish roles.

charles durning / fred thompson

steve guttenberg, tom hanks

actually not any more, this was more when i was a kid.

Michael Jacksons Beat It & Billy Jean

But they're easy to tell apart: "Beat It" begins with a guitar riff and "Billy Jean" with a synth riff.

it's not so much when i'm listening to them, it's more when i'm talking about them to someone else. Or if Beat It comes on the radio I say "oh i think this is my fave jacko tune" and then realise its not, it's billy jean.

Yeah, I can get that. I always mix "We Are the World" and Jacko's "Heal the World" in my head, to the extent of singing the lyrics of the latter to the tune of the former.
