Was that due to the sound, or due to Napster labeling the song as such back in the day?

I know Dash Rip Rock’s “Lets go smoke some Pot” was attributed wrong on Napster as well.

Bitch - Meredith Brooks

Just assumed it was Alanis Morissette when I was a kid in the 90s.

I also assumed several AIC songs were Nirvana when I heard them on the radio.

This caused me much confusion and many a lost arguments back in the day. I know "Dream On" was labeled as Led Zeppelin and maybe "House of the Rising Sun" as well.

For the longest time, I thought the song, Long Stick Goes Boom by Krokus was AC/DC.

I could have sworn Bittersweet Symphony was Oasis not the Verve.

And I do not care what anyone says...Come Monday is James Taylor and not Jimmy Buffet

I thought by your comment U2 did a cover I didn’t know about. They didn’t but you did lead me to this cool version.

Ashcroft and Coldplay - Bittersweet Symphony

Mine is The Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana.

First time I heard "I Can't Hold Back" I thought it was Journey.

Didn't know it was Survivor.

Jimi Jamison has a similar voice to Steve Perry.
