Confession time: songs you thought were by one band, but were actually by another

[uzi]

Somebody posted the song Mother by Danzig a few days ago, and that reminded me that the first few times I heard that song I thought it was by The Cult

And for years I thought this was Steely Dan

What are some songs that you, for a while anyway, thought were by one artist, then you learned it was by somebody else

I thought this was Pink Floyd when I first heard it

 

[Kaepsknee]

Thought this was George Harrison for the first 35 years of my life.

 

[Baphomet]

I use to think this was the Rolling Stones

I use to think this was the Rolling Stones

I always thought it was Aerosmith.... oh wait.

I thought Plush by STP was by Pearl Jams. For years...I hated all grunge until 1999 or 2000 so I didn't pay much attention

For a long time I thought Peabo Bryson had made a record with Parliament/Funkadelic but he hadn’t.

Thought for sure this was the Stones for a couple years

Damn that's fucking funny. Probably more Stones sounding than many Bowie cuts because of the riff, but still Bowie's voice doesn't sound anything like Jagger.

Used to think Free's "Allright Now" was by Bad Company.

I can see that. In fact, it appears that Bad Company has covered it

I thought Greta Van Fleet was Zeppelin... for like 30 seconds.
