Pretty self-explanatory. For me: Rise Against and Disturbed. Rise Against is the worst for it, IMO. Their music all just blends together for me. From the guitars to the breakdowns to the song structures to the vocals and even the lyrics. Try and keep it civil, people.
I'm a huge Rise Against fan, but I had to spin their last couple of albums a few times a piece before I could heard a distinction between the songs. This isn't quite what you're asking, but Green Days 21st Century Breakdown album all ran together pretty badly.
inb4 Linkin Park I would have to agree with 2xPutt. Godsmack is by far the least diverse band out there. Next to Nickelback.
Living in Canada, I've heard a hell of a lot of Nickelback. They have two sides; soft rock (Photograph, How You Remind Me, Rock Star, etc) and hard rock (Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting, Burn It To The Ground). Each side sounds similar, funnily enough. And I'm now sad I know so much about Nickelback.
The music of bands liek We The Kings/All Time Low/The Maine/[every other generic pop-rock] band are totally indistinguishable for me.
AC/DC because they never changed their sound. That's why I'm glad when a band changes their sound. New Found Glory even though I love them. :/
always be hatin Nickleback fore sure. I love country music, but honestly a lot of the new bs sounds the same. Old school reggae. Oh yeah, any music today produced by Dr. Luke or Red One.
Back when it was just Hybrid Theory and Meteora were around, all my friends would say Linkin Park. And it was true. But there's so many to choose from. Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Staind, Shinedown, Tool, Breaking Benjamin, etc. And I like all of those bands. If you aren't listening closely, all of their songs will pretty much blend together.
All punk bands sound the same to me, eg. Blink 182, Sum 41, Good Charlotte. Breaking Benjamin (though I kind of like them).
That's not a very wide reference pool of punk bands you've been hearing then haha. I'm just gonna go with the people saying We The Kings/The Maine/etc and Nickelback/Shinedown/etc. That's not to say I categorically dislike those bands but this thread suits them pretty well.
Just an observation/prediction. Point is, every successful band has their own gimmicks and unique (even if unoriginal) sound, and without it they'd undefinable and ultimately forgettable. Every band sounds the same through an album if you're not listening closely enough. When a band does a song outside the central theme of an album people say "hmm this is out of place and weird", and when they don't they say "ugh the songs all sound the same". Uninteresting social commentary/uninteresting thread imo.
