It is because we only listen to it for 2-5 minutes at a time. We are addicted to sound bites. And there is only so much a song writer can do in a sound bite. So what we are essentually left with is a bunch of songs that all use the same chords repeatedly. As a result, most of them sound the same. Now there are different styles and flavors. Rythm is more important to some, melody, and volume level more important to others. But there are few songs or groups for that matter that will actually change their style in the middle of a song, let alone in the middle of an album (this is one reason I like Billy Joel's "Stranger" so much). "Artists" stick to what sells and that is more and more of the same. Furthermore, most people are more likely to remember a song if it repeats the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER again. If it repeats itself enough then maybe people will remember it and want to buy it. And as far as music being commercialized, I absolutelly agree with you. As a society we like to believe that capitalism gives us more choices, but in reality it tends to give us more and more GENERIC choices. Look at McDonalds, Burger King, and all those other fast food giants, these companies know what sells and it isn't diversity. You could make a valid arguement that music has turned somewhat like the fast food industry. So much of the music is put together by committees based on what sells. After a while it all sounds the same becuase they are all competing for the attention of the same group of people. Anyway, that's my take on it. I hope this comment isn't too long for your blog.
