Really surprised no one's mentioned Everclear, but that might just be because no one thinks about Everclear that much

The songs themselves sound a little differnt but if you asked me to identify an evanescence song only by the singer, I'd be unable to differentiate any of them. I know this isn't true but sometimes it sounds to me like shes just singing the same note the whole song.

Metallica.

I remember one night working a job replacing checkout lanes at Savemart one of the other dudes doing the job setup the PA system to play nothing but Metallica songs and at our first break I asked if he could stop playing the same song on repeat and then showed me he had 6 whole CDs in the thing and it was on shuffle.

So then I asked to add other bands to the mix.

But I mean... There's like 12 different parts to "Unforgiven." Which is basically just 1 song.

To some degree, Goatwhore. Love the band, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I can never remember song titles of theirs, because they are all a bit OTT tbh.

After Bad Guy, i couldn't tell the difference between Billie Eillish songs.

That's absolutely wild, her music is all over the place. None of the singles on her new album sounded anything alike lol

10cc and maroon5.
Both equally boring as well

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 weeks ago

They all sound similar. Some, though, get really blurry. Led Zeppelin comes to mind; when I was listening through their albums they’d get pretty blurry. Seconding also AC/DC.

Basshunter albums from the 2000s

Powerwolf, and that's a compliment. They're consistent; you boot up an album from them, and you know you're about to listen to 40 minutes of horny werewolf crusaders.

Reading the comments, it sounds like it’s a bad thing for a band to stick to their sound. I actually think that’s good. After all, I started listening to a band because of their sound. When they suddenly reinvent themselves, they usually lose me.

Positive example: Interpol. In my opinion, the band got better over time but kept the exact same sound.

Negative example: Radiohead. At some point, Thom Yorke just started letting cats walk across synthesizers.

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.
