I used to love The Black Keys, but all their latest albums just sound so samey
Bon Jovi. Apparently they’re not a one hit wonder.
Alan Walker
The dude has just seen one tune go viral and decided “why not make ALL of my music exactly like this?”
Panic! At the disco
U2? Never listened to them besides sometimes on the radio. But seems kinda samey
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.
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
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
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.
Most EDM in 2010’s. That’s the obvious answer.
Wesley Willis
I still get The Vultures Ate My Dead Ass Up stuck in my head.
Don’t change perfection
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.
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.

Mamaleek change up the sound on every album, and still have their defining mood and are different from everyone else. If I want the different Mamaleek sounds, I listen to the different albums.
About the same with King Crimson, I think, but with longer series of albums.
I guess you stopped listening to Radiohead after Kid A? Really, really bad take.
every band that i don’t like
This is the answer.
AC/DC and CCR come to mind. Doesn’t bother me though. It’s the audio equivalent to eating a bag of Doritos. The flavor doesn’t change, but every now and then there’s one with a little more powder on it.
Hard disagree about CCR.
and just like Doritos, every once in a while you gorge on a bunch of doritos until you get totally sick of them and swear you don’t like them any more. A month goes by and you start snacking on them again because you hopelessly like them.
I am both amazed and disappointed it’s taken this long for me to learn how to sing AC/DC. It was Marge all along.
"With us, it's to be expected. As my brother [Malcolm Young] used to say when somebody said, 'Every album you've ever made sounds the same...' "He said, 'Yeah. It's the same band.' When we started, we weren't reinventing the wheel. This is what we do best - we make rock 'n' roll." ~ Angus Young
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
