Songs that you originally thought were by a different band

[DemonFilth2001]

I thought this as well for a brief period.

It’s not???

Nope. It was done by the Hollies.

The fuck? Had no idea that wasn’t CCR!

[aznsquirt]

Thought "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was CCR

I thought this as well for a brief period.

It’s not???

Yeah wait what?

This is the most educational Sludge thread I've ever read.

[Sleek]

Jeez dudes, next you're going to be saying that you still think that Lies by the Knickerbockers is the Beatles.

[Olivia Sophia]

When I first heard "Talk Dirty To Me" on the radio I thought it was Black n' Blue. Cut me some slack I was only 12 at the time

What about you guys?

Transit authority......and chicago

[WentEast]

Rock Rock Till You Drop - thought was AC/DC
Cool Change by Little River Band thought was CSNY.
That “Your Dead” theme song from the show What We Do In The Shadows - I was sure was Donovan.

[Hellsinkey]

As a kid, I had read about AC/DC before hearing them. Then I misheard the announcer on the radio, introducing ABC's The Look Of Love. I thought this AC/DC doesn't sound very hard.

[Love_Industry]

Jeez dudes, next you're going to be saying that you still think that Lies by the Knickerbockers is the Beatles.

I remember someone in school not knowing Judas Priest didn't write Johnny B Goode.

A few years later he was probably shocked that someone wrote a whole book based on a Warrant song.

Oh and every song on the first two Britny Fox albums could be Cinderella. And Cinderella's Night Songs I thought was AC/DC.

[BernieTaupson]

Sheila by Tommy Roe. Who is blatantly impersonating Buddy Holly, so it’s not uncommon.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Jeez dudes, next you're going to be saying that you still think that Lies by the Knickerbockers is the Beatles.

Or that Klaatu was a secret reunion.

[FreddyFender]

I thought all of Jody Watleys songs were Janet Jackson and didn’t know Jody Walter existed until the internet.

Thought “Dirty Work” by Steely Dan was Todd Rundgren for years. Doesn’t even sound like him, but I was dead certain it was.

The best 80s AC/DC albums post-FTATR are The Cult - Electric and Kix - Blow My Fuse.

[jhenders]

When first hearing KIX's "Don't Close Your Eyes" on the radio, I thought it was a new Great White song.

When first hearing Femme Fatale's "Falling in and Out of Love" on the radio, I thought it was Pat Benatar.

[Tommy]

I thought 'Reelin In The Years' was the Doobie Brothers forever.

[LovePowerFromTheMamaHead]

The first time I heard I'll Wait by Van Halen was on somebody's boombox on a loud crowded school bus. I thought it was Genesis

[Darrien]

Stuck In The Middle - Bob Dylan

Yeah, I remember trying to find it when Reservoir Dogs came out and not being able to locate it on any Bob Dylan cd.

[dmbrocker]

I thought 'Reelin In The Years' was the Doobie Brothers forever.

Well, Skunk did leave Steely Dan for The Doobies.

[DonJuanDeMarco]

I thought Edge of Seventeen was sung by Fleetwood Mac. I only found out a month ago that I was wrong.

On a similar note, I had no idea the National Lampoons Vacation song "Holiday Road" was Lindsay Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac. I just found that out a few weeks ago.

I'm sure there are lots of people out there that thought John Cafferty "On the Darkside" was Bruce Springsteen. I probably thought so too the first time I heard it.

[TREVERLAST]

Yes there are some good ones popping up.

Best song he never wrote...

I was a very long-time fan of Stevie and FM going back to the early ‘80s and had seen Vacation a million times, but that song was just never mentioned by them or Lindsay. I always assumed it was a goofy Kenny Loggins song since he had done “I’m Alright” for Caddyshack, “Danger Zone” fir Top Gun and also “Footloose”. I learned MANY years later it was actually a goofy Lindsay Buckingham song.

The best 80s AC/DC albums post-FTATR are The Cult - Electric and Kix - Blow My Fuse.

The best Judas Priest album post 1984 is Pantera - Power Metal

And the first two albums each from Dirty Looks and Rhino Bucket.

[CrankerBait]

When I was a kid I thought America’s “Horse With No Name” was Neil Young.

According to Neil Young, his own father thought it was him when he heard it on the radio.

[CrankerBait]

When I was a kid, I thought that "Sausalito Summernight" by Diesel was the Steve Miller Band. Must have been the vocals.

[rockker]

The first time I heard Chain Breaker by Primal Fear, on the radio of all places, I thought it was new Judas Priest

[GoodJudge]

Stuck In The Middle - Bob Dylan

Yeah, I remember trying to find it when Reservoir Dogs came out and not being able to locate it on any Bob Dylan cd.

So you didn't listen to the DJ in the film explaining how the song came about?

I had no idea for ages that Dissident Aggressor off South Of Heavem wasn't a Slayer original. I wondered why there were no writing credits or lyrics in the cassette inlay but at the time my knowledge of Priest started and finished with Breakijg The Law.

[kreamygoodness]

The first time I heard Hardline's Hot Cherie, I thought it was Bon Jovi.

[LadyJaneGrey]

The first time I heard "Bread and Butter" by The NetBeans, I'd been listening the radio, and thought it was some older woman singing. (Maybe Carol Channing)

[roxxxtar]

Kix- Girl Money
Thought it was AC/DC

[roxxxtar]

Whitesnake Judgement Day
Sounded exactly like Led Zeppelin
