10 Bands Whose Songs Sound Exactly The Same

10. Boston

Rock fans around the world were absolutely blown away when Boston's debut record first graced the airwaves back in the mid '70s. After years of thin production from some of the world's biggest acts, this debut had a certain immediacy that jumped out at you whenever you turned it on. However, just because you knocked it out of the park the first time around doesn't necessarily mean you'll continue to strike gold.

Instead of being a new and interesting band, Boston's debut ended up being the best record in their catalog, with most of their subsequent outings trying to play to their initial strength. Don't believe it? Just look at the very next album on the timeline Don't Look Back, a title and song that the band even admits was designed to play to what the audience wanted to hear.

At the same time, it's not like these guys are necessarily bad at their one gimmick. When it comes to the larger than life sounds of the '70s, lead songwriter Tom Scholz has remained one of the most intellectual musicians of the era, as well as an innovator of guitar pedals and production techniques. Boston may only have a few tricks up their sleeve, but those tricks have helped define a whole new generation of rock music.
