My friend was saying all Avicii songs sound the same so he doesn't like Avicii.
Is this is a popular consensus?

I like Avicii a lot. He can sound a bit samey, but what he does is very good. Hey brother is a great song and the video is clever and moving as well.

Yeah, a great tune. Brilliant synth lead. The one he did that was on Fifa 15 was great as well. I think it's called Nights.

You could say the same about thousands of acts nowadays. Basshunter topped the charts and he is the most formulaic ever.
I'm not sure I'd say he's that formulaic. I certainly like him a lot though!
He's an excellent producer in his own right, and I think the lyrics that make their way into his songs are above average when you consider his contemporaries such as Tiesto. He's also been really good at integrating acoustic music, while he has some pretty good drops that easily stand up against the likes of W&W, Hardwell, Like Mike and Dimitri Vegas etc.
I'm not so keen on Waiting for Love though, think it's missing something that his earlier songs had but is hard to put my finger on. It's just not as exciting a song.
But I easily prefer him to Tiesto, Guetta, Harris, and others who make in my view quite similar music to Avicii.

The guys very good at producing listenable music.

This.
Calvin Harris. People don't seem to recognise that he makes a four second long sound that is repeated over four minutes, with some horrific lyrics over the top and a lot of money made off it.
Rubbish music catered to the crappy pop-edm American audience.
brb just going to get cake thrown in my face while jumping around like a retard to crap music. Cheers America, people like a certain Mr Aoki think they actually talented now.

It's alright, I don't mind it. It did actually make me listen to the edm head bangers play list on Spotify which is good for a laugh.

No, not at all. Just like the huge amounts of **** that gets churned out on Heart (get subjected to it in the work car share) every single day.
