Don't they all sound the same to you? I know there are a few other acts that sound just like these guys. Does anyone agree with me?

This thread would make more sense if it was about rap.

edit: new coldplay sounds like the others, but not their older stuff

Because you just named a bunch of shitty artists/bands/who cares because they suck.

That's just my opinion of course. I don't care what music you like or dislike, as long as you enjoy it.

I don't know what any of them sound like. I may have heard their songs, but I could never identify which ones go to which band. They all sound the same.

The sound the same for the exact same reason several fast food chains offer nearly identical items on their menus.

Marketing.
