Status Quo ( the clue is in the name)
AND YET, Pictures of Matchstick Men is a psych masterpiece.
. Tool . lol sorry when you’re drunk and just hear lyrics as if they were the same in every song
Though to be fair, Maynard does vary a lot from project to project, even if not from track to track. Also to be fair, though a lot of Tool songs sound alike, they all sound like the same GOOD song.
(Had to defend Maynard because we share a birthday, and I love having arbitrary reasons for doing things/making decisions. Redman, Jennifer Garner and Posh Spice are in the same birthday club, though I (arbitrarily) disregard criticism of Posh Spice.)
Mac lethal - calm down baby
The world is gray and blue but what skates me through|
Is knowing that I have a better music taste than you|
I used to like Tool until they made the same album|
That they made the last time they made the same album|
Every time they make a damn album it’s the same album, really|
And only stoners listen to their music, it’s silly|
That’s most bands, isn’t it? That’s why we have favorites, because we like how they sound. I mean, I suppose there’s people who like a particular band because of their technical skill in general, but for most people isn’t it the particular sound they have that draws us in?
To some degree you are correct, however there is a massive difference between a band like AC/DC which had jokingly been said they have have the same album for 40 years, and say Metallica.
Metallica helped define what Thrash Metal is. But listening to Load/Reload vs Ride the Lightning is a huge difference in sound.
And you take it forward another 10 years from Reload the sound has changed all over again.
Very different from AC/DC but then again most bands/artists don’t have 50 year careers as the biggest name in their musical setting
I’m stll pissed off about Load, tbh
Linkin Park.
Look, I like them, so I’m not exactly knocking them, but a long time ago I was working an overnight inventory shift, and my manager at the time put on a Linkin Park album, and I predict how every song was going to go because they all seemed like the same song.
This was true up until Minutes to Midnight came out. They’re a lot more versatile these days. I really like their new singer.
She’s alright, but she needs a few more albums with her voice on them, she doesn’t sound that great singing Chester’s songs. At least at the Vancouver show. Still very enjoyable but her own songs are where she shines. That’s probably not surprising to anyone though
Ironically I think she sounds great on Chester’s songs, especially Numb. Hearing her sing that one gives the lyrics an entirely new meaning. It’s very fitting, given the situation of her filling in his shoes.
You didn’t hear what I did then
Audoslave
Imagine Dragons. I don’t know a lot of their songs but when I hear them I can guess it’s them with pretty good accuracy.
I’d say Thunder sounds somewhat different from their other music, and I don’t enjoy it at all.
That song is abhorrent. I can’t believe people listen to that shit and don’t turn it off.
AC/DC for sure. Every song has the same vibe. It’s a good vibe, but once you’ve heard one song, you’ve heard them all.
…is it going to be controversial if I also say The Beatles? Maybe not ALL of their music, but most.
Whole lotta Rosie is on my husband’s workout playlist and it is a jam. So good.
Live off the If You Want Blood album is the best version! Hype
Oh yeah that’s definitely a top ac/dc song
AC/DC music is nothing more than 4 chords and a beat.
And you know, sometimes that’s all you need.
And we like it like that.
I feel like there was at least some variety during the Bon Scott era but yeah everything from Back in Black on is the same.
Fyi Bon Scot suggested Brian Johnson replace him if he died early.
Check out Geordie if you want to see what he was doing before joining AC/DC… Is different.
Oh I like Brian Johnson but that is when everything started sounding the same. Good thing that I like that one thing they did :-)
Geordie sounds pretty good. I’ll have to check out more.
There’s also Rabbit with Dave Evans who was the singer on the first AC/DC single. They are, well, eh.
The Beatles did evolve over time. Their early stuff all sounds the same and their late stuff all sounds the same, but there’s a big difference between their boy band phase and their stoner phase.
I guess I’m just associating them with their “boy band” phase then. Most of my Beatles listening was probably from the collection of hits on the 1 album back in the late 90s or early 2000s, whenever that came out.
Pre 1964 Beatles I will give you. After, say, Revolver? I don’t see how you could compare Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to Tomorrow Never Knows to Martha My Dear to Back in the USSR to Sun King, etc etc etc
Often you can tell it’s the same band, but these are meaningfully different sonic experiences.
Say what you will about AC/DC, nobody else can convey the idea of sweaty testicles in musical form as effectively as they do.
It is very controversial to say that of the Beatles. Once they stopped doing live shows they reinvented themselves.
I appreciate Angus Young’s self-awareness.
“I’m sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we’ve put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.”
haha strong "no one beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row” vibes
The Beatles is like 4 bands wearing a trenchcoat, so I’m gonna have to disagree with you there. I wouldn’t even say any individual album is samey from at least sgt peppers on
AC/DC especially has the same drum rythm for all songs.
Bon Jovi. Apparently they’re not a one hit wonder.
Cocomelon.
Creed
Basshunter albums from the 2000s
Green Day took a short hiatus from their usual sound for American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, but otherwise has been releasing the same sound as their original works since after 2009, just now overly produced.
Surprised no one’s mentioned U2
First that came to mind. Can’t stand them. Just boring.
As much as I dislike them, their music has evolved. Their 80s stuff sounds different than their 90s stuff. However, after ‘Achung baby’, they have not made any interesting music whatsoever. To be honest, ‘Achtung baby’ did not stand the test of time for me either.

I still get The Vultures Ate My Dead Ass Up stuck in my head.
