A lot of bands start out imitating someone else, that's always how it is.

The Beatles started out as just another skiffle group, David Bowie started out as a writer of novelty pop/folk songs, The Beastie Boys started out as a generic hardcore band, Genesis started out as a Monkees type pop group, Nirvana started out as a Melvins clone, Radiohead started out as a wannabe grunge band.

Of course all these artists ended up finding their own voices, I think PT found theirs starting with Stupid Dream.
