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:

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:

Oh dang! I also came in here to say Bad Religion, and I would have been wrong. Thank you for bringing sources.

It was not difficult to stand up to defend the world's greatest punk band of all time (who's lead singer has a Ph.D. and has taught Evolutionary Biology at UC Berkley (I think, somewhere in California)

I think I know what it is now. It's the vocal melodies. It might be certain intervals and scales that he reuses over and over again.

Thanks for the suggestions. The songs you posted kind of back my claim. Don't get me wrong, I like individual songs like 21st Century Digital Boy, Punkrock Song or No Control. But when it comes to listening to a whole album it's too much of the same for me.

But "Into the Unknown" is crazy. I didn't know they had an album that sounded completely different and each song is different. They seem to hide it well, it's not on Qobuz, Deezer nor Spotify. I found a podcast about it, listening to it now.
