    Getting so many songs by the wrong artist.

    I had headstrong_linkinpark.

    I could never find it on their albums.

    Years later find out its by Trapt instead haha

      Fuck Trapt

      Can’t think of a one hit wonder band with a more bigoted piece of shit as the front man. Dimly lite souls, the entire lot.

        Pretty sure the biggest victims of this were Rockapella (who apparently did every a cappella song) and Weird Al (who apparently recorded every comedy song).

        Here’s how cool Al Yankovic is though: for years he maintained a list on his website of every comedy song falsely attributed to him and all the actual artists who made them. I don’t think it’s up anymore, there can’t be much need for it these days, but Al was very cool for doing that.

          It wasn’t entirely altruistic on Weird Al’s part; he was also upset about getting associated with comedy songs that had profane lyrics.

      Yes. I once downloaded a Stroke9 greatest hits album, and it included the song “Story of a girl”. When it came on, I thought “huh, I didn’t know they did this song. Cool.” Then for more than 10 years I thought it was their song.

      Don’t Worry Be Happy by Bob Marley was the one I remember. It was not by Bob Marley at all. It was by Bobby McFarren and came out years after Marley died.

      Hehe : “AC/DC - Born to be wild”

      Also “AC/DC - Jailbreak” which I later found was not ACDC… And later found it actually was.

      (and yes, ac/dc because why not)

      Had one that was labeled as “Metallica + Trans-Siberian Orchestra”. Took me years to find out it was actually Savatage
