10 Bands That Never Made The Same Album

It's any musician's dream to find a sound that is all their own. Once you hit upon something that you've never heard before, you want to go out and share it with the rest of the world. At the same time, that identifiable sound does tend to get a bit boring after years and years of playing.

Music is an ever-evolving thing. For as much as people want to make their millions off of nostalgia, there's always going to be those willing to push the genre forward and stun the listening public. While there are plenty of phenomenal bands who make a fortune off the same style of song (AC/DC, etc.), some artists prefer to see their musician as a reflection of themselves at the moment instead of just a job to do.

Rather than just slogging away at the same riff over and over again, these musicians have stepped up to the plate with something new every time, whether it be with different instruments or a different mindset to creating.

Most musicians wouldn't have the guts to do something this bold, but when you have a firm grip on your craft, most of your fans will be willing to go along for the ride.

Almost any music listener can typically pick Queen's music out of a lineup in no time flat. Even if you don't listen to the band's catalog that extensively, the sheer power of something like "Bohemian Rhapsody" is going to be around for many generations to come. However, the band's sound goes far beyond taking the sound of rock and roll into the theater environment.

Long before the band even started their classical ambitions, they were originally a prog and hard rock flavored product in the style of Led Zeppelin. Once the musical terrain had spread out, each member took their own path, taking every genre they could think of and molding it into the Queen aesthetic. There have been plenty of rockers to go around like "Tie Your Mother Down" and "We Will Rock You," but they left no stone unturned, venturing from disco on "Another One Bites the Dust" to rockabilly on "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" to even showtunes on album cuts like "Seaside Rendezvous."

Some of the songs ended up being so off-the-wall they ended up defining other genres down the road, with cuts like "Stone Cold Crazy" sounding like the rumblings of heavy metal. Queen may be known for their sophisticated approach to rock, but when it comes to each song, nothing was off the table.
