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.

[-] rudyharrelson@lemmy.radio 5 points 1 week ago

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."

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

haha strong "no one beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row” vibes

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 points 1 week ago

Say what you will about AC/DC, nobody else can convey the idea of sweaty testicles in musical form as effectively as they do.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

AC/DC music is nothing more than 4 chords and a beat.

And you know, sometimes that's all you need.

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Whole lotta Rosie is on my husband's workout playlist and it is a jam. So good.

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Live off the If You Want Blood album is the best version! Hype

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

It is very controversial to say that of the Beatles. Once they stopped doing live shows they reinvented themselves.

[-] zout@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

AC/DC especially has the same drum rythm for all songs.

[-] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

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.

"look at this photograph"

Can't even be bothered to name them, they suck so fucking hard

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

You fuck. Now I have this fucking shit song stuck in my head!

Sorry about my rage ...

[-] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

every band that i don’t like

[-] Pazintach@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

This is the answer.

[-] papertowels@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Snails house.

I like it, but they do kinda just blend into each other.

[-] swab148@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Surprised no one's mentioned U2

[-] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago
[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Offspring.

And that's why we like it.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Idk, I feel like their first few albums sounded pretty different to the ones that came later.

[-] SchittDickerson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I love them but Boston.

[-] tungah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago
[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I think that is true for the vast majority of bands. What some band manage to do is reinvent their sound with different albums and often that is not well received by the fans.

[-] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week 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.

[-] serpineslair@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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.

@Myr@lemmy.world

[-] HexagonSun@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

The Ramones.

If it’s been a while, I’ll listen to 5 tracks and be like “Yes, The Ramones!!!”

Then after a couple of tracks more I suddenly really need to put on something else.

Basshunter albums from the 2000s

[-] EponymousBosh@awful.systems 1 points 1 week ago

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

YOOOOOOOO sorry but this is my all time favorite band and Ive gotta stick up for them. They have an unmistakable signature sound, yes, but not every song sounds the same like AC/DC par examplé as other people have rightly cited.

If you'd kindly take 2 mins to listen to a bit of the following songs I pulled off the top of my head and are still willing to say all their songs sound the same then I dont know what to say:

Here's the standard kinda song you're probably thinking about, You off of No Control:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PgiBpTtao

Then put on Struck a Nerve from Recipe for Hate:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vY-EXZkXWYA

Then Television from Stranger than Fiction:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-8hlEAJZdM

Then Turn Your Back on Me from Dissent of Man:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pqt38l_qTk

Then Faces of Grief from Age of Unreason:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xpO7S29SgxQ

Thanks. For extra credit, they also had an album they kind of would everyone to forget about that was leaning into a kind of proggy sound, closer to The Who than their own sound if you want something thats way off in the wilderness:

. Tool . lol sorry when you're drunk and just hear lyrics as if they were the same in every song

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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|

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 0 points 1 week ago

"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."
