stewblack Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I was listening to Paul Weller's latest vinyl and reflecting that I'm enjoying a kind of Indian summer of music buying. I thought of little else but buying music through the 70s and early 80s but gradually this petered out and I bought little or nothing for a very long time. Now I realise there are several artists and bands whose albums I will buy the moment I hear of a new release. I don't need to hear any of the songs, just take my money. It's an interesting list. The Burning Hell Vulfpeck Paul Weller The Lovely Eggs High/Low The Wind Up Birds Theo Katzman Who are you guaranteed to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I bought virtually every Paul Weller album through to the the early teens - guaranteed. However I felt that he lost his way and started to sound "same-y" so stopped buying his albums. I think I own every album by Everything by the Girl but since Tracey stopped recorded and Ben started re-mixing the old stuff I've lost interest. Thankfully I've found another direction to take my musical taste - just good music and NO guarantees that I'll buy the next album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I have to admit, with the exception of Weller, I haven’t heard of any of the other artists mentioned. I’m not sure if that’s down to my listening habits - I thought I had quite eclectic tastes - or my age, or what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford13 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Snarky Puppy Bob Reynolds KC Roberts & the live revolution Pino Palladino If I find a independent or small label artist I will buy the CD then listen to it on Spotify just for ease. I only have Sonos in the house, but I will buy the album anyway to help support the artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Not quite what your asking but..........

Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Once upon a time, yes. Post- divorce and the sale of all my vinyl, most of the CDs and the HiFi to raise funds? Not any more. I can't afford to replace them, so I just use "free" Spotify and tolerate the ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) I won't blindly buy everything an artist puts out. Even the best can release stinkers, but I have nearly all of the recordings of The Band, Little Feat, Delbert McClinton, Keb Mo and Robben Ford. PS I forgot Stevie Wonder. I have all the good albums.

FinnDave Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I subscribe to the Grateful Dead's 'Dave's Picks' series - four CD sets a year of live material from their extensive archive. Pay up front in the Autumn, then the box sets pop through my letter box at three monthly intervals. That's the only music I have bought for several years now. Reading through other people's lists in this thread, I only recognise the names of about 5% of the bands/artists mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
