I didn't realize Mr Bojangles was a jjw song for years, thought it was Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Shameful, really.

I always thought Surrender was by KISS. I didn't realize until a few years ago that it was actually Cheap Trick.

Dream On by Aerosmith was Led Zeppelin

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) - The Hollies

I thought for 20 years it was CCR. Nope. A British rock band.

To me, this is the best submission on the thread. I would've lost a lot of money on that bet until just a few years ago.

I'm young, relative to the song, but I thought "Lunatic Fringe" was Pink Floyd until about last year.

Here I used to think Lunatic Fringe was by Def Leppard.

I used to think "Since You've been Gone" by Rainbow had Paul Stanley on vocals.

I though that song was by Head East for years.

What's funny is what spurred this revelation for me was the boat episode of Always Sunny.
