    Jack Johnson. If you hear one of his songs in public just say “oh, Banana Pancakes” and move on with your life. Not a soul on earth will be able to correct you

    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

    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.

      I was just listening to them for the first time in a long while last week. There’s a noticeably difference pre and post elevation album.

      Their radio singles are same sounding, but they have some very different sounding songs that don’t get played.

    The dude has just seen one tune go viral and decided “why not make ALL of my music exactly like this?”

    You have to make a distinction between bands that have a (more or less) coherent sound and style, and blatant repetition. Anyway, if anyone tries to tell me that Volbeat isn’t just rereleasing the same song for the whole time they existed, I have to assume that one of us must be demented.
