Arthur Lee, of the band {{Music/Love}} never lived down the line "when I was in England Town" from their song "She Comes In Colours", to the point where it was a rueful running joke between him and the rest of the band, especially Bryan McClean. In an interview for British television, just before his death, he grinningly wondered "Why the heck I didn't sing London Town, or Manchester Town, is beyond me!" But he took it well, and said he didn't want to interfere with the original by recording a different version.

* Music/SufjanStevens initially hyped up the "Fifty States Project" -- in which he would be doing a series of albums each based of the fifty states of America -- but only came out with ''Michigan'' and ''{{Music/Illinois}}'' [[OrphanedSeries before admitting a few years later that it was ultimately a "promotional gimmick", and that he didn't fully intend on following through with the pitch]]. That admission came in 2009, but news publications are ''still'' mentioning this any time he or his body of work gets discussed, with it becoming likely the single thing most non-fans know about him [[ObscurePopularity aside from his reputation as otherwise being a critical darling]]. As of 2020, Stevens' publicist explicitly informs journalists before interviews to ''not ask him about it'', as he's evidently sick of having to talk about it even decades later.

* Music/IcedEarth: It is highly unlikely that the band's [[IAmTheBand leader and main man Jon Schaffer]] will ever live down his role in storming the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. These days, being an rioter is all he's known for and any Iced Earth outlet on social media from 2021 onwards generally sees more fan jokes about politics and bear mace than they do questions about or praise for the band's music.

** Guetta’s infamous summer 2020 tribute to [[UsefulNotes/BlackLivesMatterMovement George Floyd]], qualifies as well - and this time, it’s not just the EDM community who pointed and laughed. When he gave a disjointed plea for peace throughout the world, “and America too, actually,” ending with “Shout out to his family,” right before a bass drop sampling a speech from '''UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr''', that set became a MemeticMutation pretty much overnight, and it’s still well remembered years later. He still hasn’t lived it down.
