Which artists' music do you buy without audition

Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Bill Nelson.

Among current artists... Radiohead, The Bad Plus, Madeleine Peyroux, Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Arvo Part, anything played by Peter Wispelwey, and anything played or written by Edgar Meyer. Among non-current artists, am finding I do this with lots of older jazz, Glenn Gould, anything composed by Reger, Chopin, Liszt.

Interesting idea for a thread!

Richard Thompson

Mostly everything, I buy based on suggestions, reviews and (belive it or not) the Amazon reccomendations. I have found so much good music that way. But with that said, I buy Ani Difranco just becaue it is Ani...I used to be the same way with the Dead Can Dance.

Once in while while surfing Amazon, I might listen to something that has caught my attention but I have not, otherwise, be aware of.
