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
House of the Rising Sun by Pink Floyd. Turns out it was a cover ny Frijid Pink.
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.
