repetitive songs

Post Reply New Topic

What are some of the songs you have found to be the most repetitive at least music wise?

One of mine is m83's Midnight city which has three music parts through the whole song.

I don't make a habit of listening to repetitive songs...but off the top of my head I have to say anything by that weebl guy. They're repetitive for a reason though (because his animations loop over and over), so I don't know if he counts.

Oh no! I'm going to get Amazing Horse stuck in my head for saying his name!

Repetitive doesn't necessarily mean bad. Certain genres like house, ambient techno, stoner metal, post-rock and krautrock have repetitiveness as a defining feature of the genre. Something can be repetitive and boring/lack progression, have a repetitive beat but be interesting in other ways, etc.

As an example the song Halleluhwah by Can has almost the same drum beat for 18 minutes, with minor variations, but what makes it so great is the constantly changing psychedelic jam going on at the same time.

The most repetitive song is called vexations.

Nananana... Batman!

Lyrically, Thong Song. But then, that's part of its charm.

I am not saying the song is bad if it's repetitive, I am just looking for very repetitive songs.

Vexations works so well for other people(I absolutely adore all music) is because it builds up. Is it only two notes/keys?

(-) Ions by Tool

Nah, really anything "drone metal"

I can hear many different chords in drone metal especially with sunn o))), Boris, and Merzbow.

One that I particularly like is Acid Mothers Temple & the Cosmic Inferno's "IAO Chant From The Cosmic Inferno". AMT&CI's "Recurring Dream and Apocalypse of Darkness" is good as well.

Also, almost anything by Spacemen 3 can be classified as repetitive.

It is seattle's music genre along with grunge.

all pop music is repetitive.

It might have repetition but I am talking about songs where they are just a few notes repeated over and over again.
