Some songs already sound really similar because of the same chord progression. A rather amusing example of this is Stairway to Gilligan's Island.
But there will always be ways to remix certain songs, or change it up slightly. It's personally why I like songs from the 50s and 60s; less of it sounds similar to songs before it (and it's before the autotune industry).
I'll agree that the 50s and 60s have more original music than today's music. Also, let's not forget that it was a time period where they would use complete songs, instead of sampled versions of songs, like today's music. Do you think a person could get away with using a melody that's been created by an unknown artist? If they get sued, it'd be pretty difficult to prove it in court.
