Whose records would you buy without listening first

[peteroberts]

There's no reason to go and blow $15-20 on *anything* that you haven't heard anymore. With I-Tunes, you can hear at least a 30 second sample of all the tunes (provided they carry the record) before buying a thing.

There's just too much crap out there anymore. Although, to answer the question, I would most likely buy a Wayne Shorter record without hearing it first.

[Prahainspring]

Anything Chris Cornell is in
Anything Les Claypool is in
RATM
Rush

Some other ones but I, for some reason, cant think of any.

Nick wow i didnt relize how much the 90's influenced our listening taste.

[Osama_Spears]

Atreyu
Tool

...I think when I purchase Opiate I will prob only skim through the track list w/ those things they have at the record stores. Thats what I did w/ Aenima.

[Nick man]

Yeah its pretty crazy!

I guess I shouldnt be suprised as there really hasnt been much in the past few years that Ive gotten all that excited about.

Oh, I should add to that list.

I feel the same way, the only thing that does it for me is Metallica now other then that i really dont care for much of the new stuff out. Do you like Foo Fighters?

[Nick man]

The Foo Fighters are great, I probably would buy their albums without listening to them actually.

Its like anything Dave Grohl touches (QOTSA, FF, NIRVANA) is gold, maybe not because of him, but it just seems to be the truth.

As far as Metallica goes..... well lets just say Ive had my fill and Im not going back for seconds.

[Stachio]

I'll add a vote for Opeth and anything with Devin Townsend.
Anything involving Mike Patton or Trevor Dunn. I'd like to say John Zorn but that man has 100s of albums.
Aphex Twin/AFX/Polygon Window/Caustic Window/etc.
Death
Dillinger Escape Plan
Mastodon
Beck

I have a lot of blind faith in the music I listen to

[unrealrocks]

Muse, Jamiroquai, maybe Victor Wooten if I was in a spending mood!

[JMX]

Oops, how could I forget Opeth. Thanks Stachio!

So I have to add Opeth (or Mikael Akerfeld)

[70hemicuda]

really the only two i can think of right now would be Rammstein or Slipknot
