Which artists' music do you buy without audition

Cat Power

Pat Metheny
Steve Wilson

Not many. I used to do it frequently when at record stores by just reading the back of the lp for vital info, like names of the performers, and the instruments they played. If I didn't know anyone, the instruments used sometimes made the sale. Some were duds, others were fun. Can't do that any longer...as tears come to my eyes...yearning...good old days...
Now there are plenty of sites to explore online, but I need the physical disc in my hands to get me started. I don't just explore to see what comes up. Tried that and it got too involving. I like to just come across a disc and go from there.
