darkandrew Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) So, based on a question in a previous thread - are there any bands and artists whose music you still buy, probably out of loyalty, even though you know it's probably not going to be very good? For me it'll probably be Depeche Mode I'm afraid - their last album to excite me was "Ultra" but I still buy every new one when it comes out just in case and each time I end up disappointed.

T-Bay Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Nope, if I don't like it I don't buy it. There are very few bands where I have everything they have done and then it's usually because didn't do very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 There's no bigger Stones or Macca fan than me, however I have no interest in their new material. I'll keep buying their 60s material. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Steve Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have a list... I used AC/DC to start this on the other thread, but the biggest offenders for me are Metallica. If you weren't there you might not appreciate just how good the first three albums were at the time kick starting thrash metal, and the the Garage Days EP was great...I've bought every album since and don't like any of them. In fairness I've seen them live a lot since then and they've never done a bad show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The last few have been pretty poor. Queensryche became pretty poor too for the last few albums before Geoff Tate and the rest of the band parted company but I still bought the CDs in the hope that they would be better than they turned out to be.

BrunoBass Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Ryan Adams. I adore Ryan Adams. I think he's an absolute genius and one of the greatest songwriter ever. His songs have moved me like no other songwriter, and I have a strong emotional connection to his work. Still, he hasn't made a great album in twelve years, his gigs can be frustratingly hit and miss affairs and I genuinely believe his best work is now behind him. I hope he proves me wrong, but I keep buying his albums, which notwithstanding the occasional gem contained within, are pretty average nowadays.

The most recent one (I can't even remembered what it's called) is a stinker. PS - agreed, Ultra is a fantastic album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I usually buy or listen to (thanks Apple) the latest u2 album but generally aside from an occasional gem (crystal ballroom) it's a bit meh these days Not really beaten atomic bomb but I'm sure they need my money Edited June 23, 2017 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm not a "completest" by any means and there are a couple of stinkers in here that even I wouldn't buy, but I have nearly all the CD's and some of the vinyl by the Band, Little Feat, Keb Mo and Delbert McClinton.

Bolo Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Last Metallicker album I bought was the black album. I threw it out and never bought another. Every decade I'll listen to what they've been up to, sigh, shake my head and get on with life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkgod Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) jamiroquai, the last one tho was my last one, it sounds awful I got the same feeling when i purchased and listened to "click" by corduroy nothing like previous releases, not even remotely the same sort of music. On saying all that it must be hard for a band to Branch out into other areas some will like it and some wont. But in the case of "click" .... it did not feel like a gradual jump like their sound was progressing, it just hugely jumped into an area i could not associate with or make the connection.

lurksalot Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I honestly never got got the band 'fanboy' thing , if the music speaks to me , I'll vote with my wallet , if it doesn't , I'll let it go . It is so much easier to try before you buy nowadays that you really don't have to convince yourself that you love the band because you spent £12.99 on an album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I tend to grow out of bands so their material may be of similar quality but I am looking for something else. This happened with Yes, Rush, ELO, Genesis, Weather Report, Dave Holland, Wynton Marsalis, John Abercrombie(although I am rediscovering him), John Scofield, Pat Metheny etc etc. Not their fault, just need to find something fresh.
