Jack Johnson. If you hear one of his songs in public just say “oh, Banana Pancakes” and move on with your life. Not a soul on earth will be able to correct you

That’s most bands, isn’t it? That’s why we have favorites, because we like how they sound. I mean, I suppose there’s people who like a particular band because of their technical skill in general, but for most people isn’t it the particular sound they have that draws us in?
U2? Never listened to them besides sometimes on the radio. But seems kinda samey
There are people used to tell me every track by Summoning sounds the same. Many who don't listen to Classical music complained that Classical music sounds the same, be it Vivaldi or Schostakovich. Some suggested I need to change it to a more uplifting playlist (in an Art Gallery). If I played Bach it would be worse. And then some people told me everything I made looked the same. I mostly agree to all the above. It's better to admit defeat and admit that you would never be good enough.
Everything arctic monkeys has put out since AM
Green Day took a short hiatus from their usual sound for American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, but otherwise has been releasing the same sound as their original works since after 2009, just now overly produced.
Everything Sabaton released between Carolus Rex and the last album.
Almost everything Powerwolf released after Blood of the Saints.
Nocny Kochanek after Zdrajcy Metalu.
Reading the comments, it sounds like it’s a bad thing for a band to stick to their sound. I actually think that’s good. After all, I started listening to a band because of their sound. When they suddenly reinvent themselves, they usually lose me.
Positive example: Interpol. In my opinion, the band got better over time but kept the exact same sound.
Negative example: Radiohead. At some point, Thom Yorke just started letting cats walk across synthesizers.

Mamaleek change up the sound on every album, and still have their defining mood and are different from everyone else. If I want the different Mamaleek sounds, I listen to the different albums.
About the same with King Crimson, I think, but with longer series of albums.
I guess you stopped listening to Radiohead after Kid A? Really, really bad take.
Who is music?
AC/DC
Rage Against The Machine
Tool
Every “punk” band from the 2000’s.
. Tool . lol sorry when you're drunk and just hear lyrics as if they were the same in every song

Pink Floyd
Except "The Endless River". That was... something.
Which version? Barrett, Waters, or Gilmour?
