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.
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.
Hard disagree about CCR.
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.
“look at this photograph”
Can’t even be bothered to name them, they suck so fucking hard
You fuck. Now I have this fucking shit song stuck in my head!
Sorry about my rage …
Nickelback
they went disco for a little bit
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.
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
It is very controversial to say that of the Beatles. Once they stopped doing live shows they reinvented themselves.
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.
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.
AC/DC music is nothing more than 4 chords and a beat.
And you know, sometimes that’s all you need.
Say what you will about AC/DC, nobody else can convey the idea of sweaty testicles in musical form as effectively as they do.
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.
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.
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
Alan Walker
The dude has just seen one tune go viral and decided “why not make ALL of my music exactly like this?”
Surprised no one’s mentioned U2
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
“The same” always means “these aspects I’m noticing” and not these other aspects I’m not noticing. And when there are aspects I’m not used to they tend to stand out and eclipse the aspects i’m used to and take for granted. Whole genres that i never listen to “sound the same.”
I used to love The Black Keys, but all their latest albums just sound so samey
Cocomelon.
I love them but Boston.
Aerosmith.
Ink Spots, but in a comfy way. I guess it was kind of their intentional gimmick, so this might not be a good answer.
Vivaldi
