They're original because they're a funk pop band, with strong jazz influences that gets their sound from a piano.

Well Please explain, how Maroon 5 is original doing it now, when the band Urban listed (Jamiroquai) has been doing it since the late 80s and it wasn't original then?

Because drums are their featured instrument. They are less melodic.

Okay then, I restate. "They are original. Yep and the only reason they're original is because of a piano. I think that says alot about their musical creativity."

What's wrong with a piano making you distancing you from your musical peers?

Nothing, but I fail to see how a common instrumental like the piano can make you original.

You couldn't move in the 80s for funk / Jazz influenced pop.

Curiosity killed the cat , fine young cannibles ,Londonbeat , Blow Monkeys , Style Council , Jamiroquai ... and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head without even being a fan of them.
