There are some Santana songs that I love SO MUCH.
Samba Pa Ti, Oye Como Va, his super famous cover of Fleetwood Mac, Evil Ways, Everything's Coming Our Way, Jingo, Fried Neckbones and Homefries especially.
But then there are many many that I don't care for, and he does sound monotonous.
I actually prefer his band over him on some songs. The congas and bongos do more for me many times than does the "secret Santana Chord Progression".
In most cases however, if there is good percussion going on, I can listen to that Santana sound all day, and have.
