Artists that use the same song structure...

Another 100 % agreement, this time with Marty. I imagine all Baroque also sounds quite similar to those who have yet to hear past the outside surface. Form is only one aspect of music, but yes, the first one heard and recognized. Inside the form are many musical ideas that share only that basic form with one other, just like Blues, Bluegrass, but NOT contemporary Nashville "product"!

I have been listening everyday for the past month to two different recordings of C.P.E. Bach's Six Symphonies, trying to, first, "know" them completely (I'm not there yet), and second, to appreciate the differences between the two performances (Pinnock and Hogwood). THAT I just last night got, pretty much.

Contemporary Country is similar in lyrics:
She's bad bcoz she left me and I feel blue
or
He's bad bcoz he left me and I feel blue

Czarivey, you are wrong about bluegrass. I've taught and played enough of those songs to know that it's not so one-dimensional. There are subtleties and musical variations that you apparently have not yet encountered--I know it's not a matter of them "going over your head." For instance, there's a lot of different melodic modes and different chord progressions. You will hear some of the same ones repeated, and often, but there's a lot more there than what you've mentioned.

Who cares. Music is either good or bad regardless of form. I generally don't care for bands that don't have an identity. Gimme t Rex, acdc, Ramones. Oh yeah, and turn it up!

Does anyone on here listen to anything avant-garde...?? I always see the same genres/artists referenced...
