Ask Lemmy

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.

Dog on the Road

This is the answer.

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."

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Oof. That's a tough one. Every song on an album sounds pretty similar, but I feel like each album has a very distinct style from the others.

(Beginning song with bass) bun da dun dun dun dun x20

Oh yes. They have certainly lost their touch.

Also Rammstein or Til Lindemann's solo work (which is just Rammstein with less effort).

Another one is Limp Bizkit. The music has not evolved, even with the new singer.

Bring in the downvotes.

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

Sorry about my rage ...

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:

Then Television from Stranger than Fiction:

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:

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:
