ARTISTS YOU BUY WITHOUT RESERVATION

I was just thinking about the many bands I've followed over the years and the records that I've bought without so much as hearing a note beforehand.  For myself,  Neil Young,  Tom Waits,  Lucinda Williams,  John Hiatt Son Volt;  back in the proverbial day Led Zeppelin,  The Stones,  The Who,  etc.  Both examples contain far more but suffice as being representative of my leanings.

Disappointments?  Neil Young's "Trans".  Oy vey.  Tom Waits?  None.  

Surprises and/or refresher courses in talent?  "Terms of My Surrender" - John Hiatt.   Great new release.

Have at it,  peeps!

I don't buy albums anymore unless I am familiar with the music.  I used to with people like Neil Young but got burned a couple of times.  Even old Neil has had a few clunkers, especially later in his career. 
I think Joni Mitchell, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, and Keith Jarrett have been the most consistent IMO.
