Earlier groups with the same name of a later group

Poison: 1970's funk band

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

There's been several acts called 'The Family' or 'Family'.

This one is a R&B group that released an album in 1977. Tyrone Brunson was a member. He later released some popular R&B singles in the 1980's like The Smurf and Sticky Situation.

Tyrone Brunson is awesome. "Love Triangle" is a cool album.

Rosetta Stone

First band formed in Northern Ireland in the 70s with Bay City Rollers guitarist Ian Mitchell.

Second band formed in England in the late 80s.

Obviously, I preferred the second band. smile

I know, but with only 1 out of 8 guys in the current band who had also been in the classic lineup it sure does seem like two totally different groups! wink

Before the "grunge" version there was a sixties British group named Nirvana.

^^The same group with different members (ie. The Platters, The Temptations) or different names is not a different group. So Parliament and Guns & Roses don't count. Acts with or without a "The" at the front can count though (ie. Time/The Time).

How about if there's an "s" at the end of the band's name with different members? Like this:
