	There was a Prog and Jazz-fusion drummer who shares his name with a guy who sang in a Pop band and had solo Pop hits ... I think their name is Bill Collins or something...
	What?

	Heir Apparent (Prog metal) had a keyboardist called Michael Jackson. Here & Now had a keyboardist with the stage name of Twink (who also performed with Gong) who ain't the same Twink as the one from the Pink Fairies or Pretty Things. Edited by TheH - July 06 2016 at 05:52

	some musicians share the same name and hence are often confused with each other. a good example is Hawkwind's singer Robert Calvert, who is sometimes confused with the sax player of the same name who played for Catapilla and Mother Gong. this one is especially confusing because Mother Gong is a spin-off of Gong, and Gong and Hawkwind are befriended bands and exchanged a lot of musicians (just think of synth player Tim Blake, who even was a member of both bands at the same time at some point in his career), so it seems logical. Hawkwind's Robert Calvert did however die Aug 14th 1988; Mother Gong's Robert Calvert joined them in 1988 and played on all their albums from then on. Hawkwind's Robert Calvert: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Calvert Catapilla's Robert Calvert: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Calvert_(saxophonist) Dave Stewart, keyboarder of Arzachel, Egg, Khan, Hatfield and the North, National Health and Bruford, must not be confused with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics (not a prog band though). what other musicians who share names can you think of?
