Can't get enough of that wonderful Muf.
The howcomes and whyforths of what makes a band sound good is a bit of an odd debate, as opinions on "good" and "bad" are all subjective, and it's hard to apply any sort of objectivity as "being original/unique/innovative" can all be used to cover up a multitude of sins. But as far as the individual performers go, it's up to them to find a band that suits their own individual sounds/styles, etc. and then it's up to them to play that which they are happy playing in a way that they are happy with. There's a certain amount of faith-leaping that goes on; the performer(s) has to be happy and confident in what they are doing and then just pray that other people agree/enjoy it for the same reasons.
