This is not prog specific but I put it in the main board for discussion anyway.
I've recently been getting compilations of recent unknown bands — one comp was for Gothic and another was for Post Rock ... Anyway I couldn't believe how much alike all the bands sounded under their particular genre. They were so alike that you'd swear it was the same band. All the bands in the Goth collection sounded like Joy Division wannabes and all the Post Rock tunes seemed to have exactly the same chord progression, guitar tone etc...
I know copying other bands has always been done, that's how genres come about, but has it gone too far these days?
This is not intended to be a list thread, but a discussion thread.
