Take Garbage for example. On the face of it they were had something different; melding samples with industrial beats, grunge guitar and wrapped it in pop music. But then, at the same time, it sounded like something you had heard before. It might have been the samples, such as The Clash's 'Train In Vain' on 'Stupid Girl', or it could be due to the fact that well written pop songs should sound familiar.
My cherished band Curve got there before them with a very similar blueprint, but Garbage refined it. Made it less abrasive and more..... dare I say it.....radio friendly. Not that there is anything wrong with that of course. Not really.
