I bought the Madhouse album because of the super sexy chick on the cover! Thank goodness I enjoyed the music as well! I won't do that now... Can't blow hard earned dough on potential crap! | |

Well I heard "Be Your Girl" and wanted to buy it, but had to wait. By then, I had also heard "Take Me" featuring Raphael Saadiq, and I was sold. TEEDRA   | |

I picked up the Portishead's second cd off the rack because of the cover. Took it home and loved it. I didn't even know they had a previous album called Dummy.
Pleasant surprise. Um,, Also I picked up a cd by a band called LAmb. I now have 3 of there albums. | |

Yes, but only in the $3 used bargain bin. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born. | |

I have done this alot. One of the biggest and most satisfying surprises was a CD titled "From the City to the Sea" by a band called Mighty Truth. The cover is of a guy hanging upside down from a rope and there is a White roman column type structure next to him. I just thought it was an interesting cover and wondered what kind of music lay underneath and it is one of my favorite albums ever.

Not quite. But I have bought a cd from hearing one song playing in the store. Or one song on the radio.
I was in the store, and Erykah Badu came on. I was like, is this Billie Holliday? They said nope, erykah badu. I walked straight to the rack and picked it up. I have every album now. After I heard "I'm Like A bird", who, I thought was erykah on the radio, they said it was Nelly Furtado and I bought that one too. I also saw Eric Benet perform a song on BET - cover of sly's 'if you want me to stay' - and literally grabbed my keys, drove to the store and bought it. :-p | |

The only reason I bought it was because Raphael Saadiq was featured and produced a track (which happens to be the only good song on the album )I did the same thing. I think she makes a good singing partner on his album Ray Ray. I Like "Chic" and "I Want You Back." I used to see her 12 inch single for "You'll Never Find (A Better Woman)" in the bins last summer. I was like, "who is this chick with Jadakiss." Then the cd came out in the fall, and I saw the vidoe for "Just Wanna Be Your Girl" on Midnight Love in October-- 1 time. Hype Williams directed it. The video was simple, but classy. | |

I bought Mount Sims about 2 years ago and luckily ended up loving it. It's an electro album, very Prince-ish. The funny thing is that about a week after I bought it I started hearing about him and seeing him in magazines. Funny innit?
I just checked out Ultra Sex on Amazon. I'm picking it up tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. | |

You can safely buy all kinds of music by artists whose music you haven't heard beforehand according to record labels. Small labels don't put out utter shit, ever. | |
