Top Ten Bands Whose Songs All Sound the Same

One of the reasons why they are so popular - HEAVYMETALTHUNDER12345

"YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG! "

"WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY TO HELL! "

"I'M BACK IN BLACK! "

Yes, we get it, AC/DC. You have perfected the art of creating boring, uninventive radio rock. - PetSounds

Highly uncreative and boring. - Ananya

Well, I like AC/DC, but I have to agree that they sound very similar and sounds like they are parodying themselves. There are prime examples of this: "TNT", "Jailbreak", and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"; "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pullution"; and everything with the 12 bar blues riff to name a few. They use the minor pentatonic scale and power chords for all of their songs and write about the same stuff. Like I said, I like AC/DC, they just sound the same. - blake_meinhardt

Stop with Bandwagon - HEAVYMETALTHUNDER12345

Nothing more repetitive, its objectivity fact. - Metalhead83927

They suck - CygnusX99

Make this number 1! I've heard different songs from AC⚡DC - LightningStrike

I love me some Disturbed but the vocal riffs in more than a few songs sound a tad too similar to one another.

I like some of Disturbed’s songs, but their songs sound WAY too much the same, like, how can you not say that both Down with the Sickness and Ten Thousand Fists has very similar sounding riffs?

Actually LP experimented with a lot of genres including Nu Metal, Alt Metal, Alt Rock, Rap Rock, Electronic Rock & even Pop Rock on their final albums for which they started getting the bad reputation of selling out. Them being placed higher on this list is kinda ironic since the only reason they started experimenting is because critics started accused them of being monotonous & samey. Seems like some people just keep searching for reasons to hate a band/artist they dislike - Joeljohns249

Nah. Their new stuff isn't the same as their old ones. - Misfire

I like Linkin Park but I agree. They are kinda repetitive.

I don't like this band, but they drastically changed their style over time so it doesn't really deserve to be on this list.

The same? No, each song is unique. Maybe with the exception of a few songs from "golden cobra". - brutalmetalbloke

"something heart something hand something love something she" *guitar gets quiet* *SUDDEN BANJO*

If someone says EVERY Tool song sounds the same, and connects it with a Perfect Circle saying that their music sounds like Tool, is either uneducated or is deaf.

This is a joke right? They have a distinctive sound, sure. But each song is very unique and each album is a totally new journey. - 10Jackson

Uhhh...Why is this here? Can anyone explain WHY this is here? We got some deaf people on this forum

Nope, IF you have listen to most of their songs...you know they don't deserve to be here. - Ananya

They're great but their songs sound pretty similar, since their themes and feeling are similar.

I love this band, but you have to admit that their style, at least in their original albums, is very predictable and to-the-point. RatM have such a recognizable style because most of their songs share so many of the same features, formulas, themes, etc. I think of it like a lifetime supply of chocolate. It's hella good, but you know what you're gonna expect.

This is coming from someone who hasn't listened to Renegades yet, by the way.

It sounds different but it's the same basic concept. I wouldn't vote.

OH YES! - HEAVYMETALTHUNDER12345

Their songs sound very similar in the sense of a punk band, just a lot of raw, thrashtastic energy

The guitar are just 000000000000 [insert random power chord] 00000000 [insert another random power chord]
And the drums are always the same cliche skank rhythm which gets old real soon

No Ember sounds different than the previous albums. - Soulstealer

It was my favourite band at 15, now all their songs sound the same...

Every album sounds like every other.

Yeah honestly... I like Breaking Benjamin, too, but they haven't really changed their sound at all. - YCLP33

This is the dick measuring contest of metal

It still sounds really good though not gonna lie to yall - lilrocketman

Your right, but its not like its any use, I mean you can't even kind of make out the lyrics. the music itself is basically just blast beats on the drums and sweep picking on the guitar for five minutes and finally its over.

It's basically all: *censor button held for however long the song is* That explicit. - RiverClanRocks

Boring music

Same body, different dressing.

They make the same song over and over again

Same song just different lyrics and title. 90% of all their songs sound the same.

All of their songs arw generic and sound the same they are a trashy boy band and suck @$$ - christangrant

A lot of Nirvana songs have gibberish lyrics followed by a occasional grunt or scream. And with average guitar playing, decent singing but yeah definitely sounds the same to me.

Nirvana the same? That's stupid - MrQuaz680

I agree somewhat, not ALL of their songs sound alike, but a lot of them have a depressing yet beautiful theme. They are not bad at all.

I sadly have to vote for Evanescence. Their music is good, but just all sound depressing. - MontyPython

Even though Evanescence is one of my favorite bands and always will be, their songs are a bit repetitive per album.

Its all the same. No more no less

Each album is different but the songs are similar within the albums. - 10Jackson

Sort of. Pretty much all on Parachute sounds the same. Pretty much all on Ghost Stories sound the same (with a TKOL esque). Pretty much all of their latest stuff sound the same, but less or more it is easy to know which album and such from which.

Only a couple of songs but not all of them. viva la vida and humn of the weekend sounds differnt - Th3Zm0nst3r

Their lyrics are all just random sentences that sound epic and fantastical, but has no real meaning. They sound the same in pretty much all of their songs

ZP Theart was the better lead singer. All the songs are the same "blah blah blood hope glory blah blah fire fury something something" to be true

Kind of the same problem as AC/DC. Same formula, same chemistry, distinctive vocal work. Know 4 songs, know them all. - JoLeKosovo

True, but they're still one of the best punk rock bands

Listen to the start of Blitzkrieg Bop then listen to the start of Sheena is a punk rocker and you'll see - lelennyface

I just went through EndGame and I could have sworn I was listening to the same song for at least 20 minutes, it's very hard for me to tell the difference between each song

All of their 90's and most of the 2000's & 10's sounds exactly the same. - Th3Zm0nst3r

Only their modern stuff - Gruunge

Every single song sounds the same to me.

No. Their style was constantly changing. Heck, the White Album itself is a myriad of styles. - Gg2000

Similar but not the same - Alkadikce

Uhh what? Metallica actually gets all that hate for changing a lot - HEAVYMETALTHUNDER12345

Whoever put this here was stoned as hell - CygnusX99

Nooo
Not Metallica - CygnusX99

Why is Metallica on here? They have variety in their songs. - Userguy44

No not at all. They can sound different a lot. - Soulstealer

Can you please name me two of their songs that are really different? - Alkadikce

Duplicate (it might be my fault) - Alkadikce

Well they only had one album so... - HEAVYMETALTHUNDER12345

All time low is awesome - andre56

Their sound was in a constant state of change. Compare Murmur to Fables of the Reconstruction to Document to Automatic for the People to Monster and you will hear the difference. - Gg2000

All there songs have this thing in the chorus where it makes you feel like standing up.
