jcbach, I also chk the reviews on amazon but I find them more useful after listening to a few samples on mp3. I've filtered many nasty purchases at the music store by going this route.
Which artists do you just not get?
I love folk. I love rock n roll. I love jazz, classical, C&W, blues and bluegrass.
At the risk of being labeled a troglodyte, a philestine, or worse, I've never been able to listen to Bob Dylan without getting a headache. Reminds me of a cat and a chalk board. Same goes for The Grateful Dead. Maybe I wasn't doing the right drugs or something.
Who else has the courage to admit to disliking music that vast portions of the population seems to go gag-ga over?
Rule number 1, Don't get personal or call other posters names because they just dissed your favorite artist.
Rule number 2, keep it civil.
Rule number 3 - HAVE FUN!
