Artists whose new releases you buy automatically without thinking about it first

Megadeth, Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper come to mind first. The problem is that I've been busy either collecting reissues or titles from yesteryear more than I care about latest releases. Frank Zappa would be a fine example, especially with the latest storm of reissues from the family trust per Ahmet and sister Diva; "Meat Light" being a prime example. But, as far as other artists' are concerned, it seems to be limited to those first 3 mentioned.

 

Paul McCartney

 

The Mavericks/Raul Malo, Olivia Newton-John, Cher, Madonna, Bananarama, Pet Shop Boys., Chris Isaak.

 

None. There are too many easy ways to check it out online first before spending wasting my money, and I have yet to find one artist who's created a perfect body of work.

I never really thought about it for everyone else, but I know for sure Madonna is someone I automatically buy every time she has a new release. And the funniest thing to me is sometimes I have weird dreams where she has like 2 previous albums that I somehow never got into, and I'm like "I'm finally gonna get into those albums" and then when I wake up, I have to laugh cuz I know that would never happen (me skipping one of her albums) in the real world. Haha!

 

Radiohead, Nick Cave, Wilco, PJ Harvey and The National.

 

Not as many as there used to be. One definite is Drive-By Truckers. Everything they put out is consistently well done, thoughtful, rock and roll, and I buy it all.

 

Megadeth and Tool.

 

Rush
Lucia Williams
Marty Stuart

That's about all I can think of. It used to be a lot more.

 

Like others say, not many left...
Brian Eno
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Fleetwood Mac
Chris & Cosey (or any one of their many aliases)
King Crimson
Tom Waits
Los Lobos
Yello
Bill Nelson
The Dirtbombs
Sleater-Kinney
The 5.6.7.8's

 

Page. World Party

 

Baby Woodrose
ASG
Josh Mason

Only Elliott Smith.

 

I'ma say something mean, but.. Tool is literally the easiest band to buy every new album from without looking.

 

D'Angelo without thinking twice.

 

Robyn Hitchcock
