10 Bands Whose Songs Sound Exactly The Same
4. KISS
It's strange to think how original KISS was when they were getting the ball rolling. While the rock and roll spectacle may be a tradition nowadays, these 4 transplants from New York hit the scene ready to kill, clad in horrifying makeup and just the right amount of rock and roll attitude to take them to the top. After the band hit it big with Alive! though, people started to realize how shallow their songwriting pool really was.
No matter what kind of song they found themselves writing, both Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons seemed to pump out the same type of rock god song as if they were being made on an assembly line. You like partying? You like comic books? Then KISS is the perfect band for you, with every song talking about being larger than life. Even the more downtempo material like "Hard Luck Woman" still feel the typical power pop song the band writes, just at a lower volume.
It speaks volumes that the one album where KISS tried to experiment (Music from the Elder) is forever in the shadows and continues to be laughed at by both the band and the critics. Even though KISS were known as a demonic act in their heyday, they ended up being one of the most reliable bands when it came time to blast you with 3 minutes of intense hard rock.
