The dream of every musician is that our work is one of the most popular and recognized, as this involves a lot of work and effort to create a song that is pleasing to the ears of the audience. Due to these high demands, many feel that their artistic work in the music scene does not meet the standard requirements to enter the competition and in some cases they leave without taking into account that they do not learn to make good quality music without have tried many times, maybe at first you produce things that are not very appreciable but as time goes by they take shape and meaning.
Creating is a skill that must be practiced constantly, it is like a muscle that is in the brain, let's say a weightlifter, if he does not train his muscles every day these are not going to grow, the same happens with creativity.
I have met musicians with high knowledge and skill when playing, but in the field of creation with very few imaginative resources, therefore end up copying many elements from other groups making them viewers immediately compare them with a well-known band "you sound like such a band" sometimes causing a bit of discomfort if you want to create a completely genuine album that sounds like you to your own concept.
The most famous bands of today, if you have noticed it, have a unique and characteristic sound that makes them sound and it is very difficult to compare them with others.
I will leave some great examples from its beginnings to the present so you can listen to how its music has evolved over time due to its constancy and focus.
