Patti and I got into a discussion about music and artists that have developed their own voice. Not an easy thing to do.
Like in the 90's with the grunge thing, Nirvana and Pearl Jam are huge successes (and I believe had their own thing going) and then for the rest of the 90's a bazillion bands come out that sound like them.
I like the Killers, their 1st CD is pretty solid and Sam's Town wasn't the smash the first one was but it wasn't bad. They sound like themselves. I know they are kinda retro 80's in their sound, but if you hear them - you know it's them. And very few artists achieve that.
U2 - same thing - you KNOW it's them, from the first chord usually!
I keep getting bands like the All American Rejects, Yellowcard etc confused. SSDD, ya know?
So a partial list of bands that are their own thing:
The Rolling Stones
Zep
Pink Floyd
Tom Waits
Leonard Cohen
Dave Matthews (I'm NOT a fan, but hey he's an original)
Depeche Mode
The Clash
Others?
