Bands whose albums you buy more out of habit these days.

demonrail666 · 08.02.2008, 02:45 PM

I own all the Sonic Youth albums, but I keep up more out of habit these days. I'm the same with anything done by Jon Spencer. I got the last Heavy Trash album, aware that it'd probably be shit (I was right) but deep down I know that I'll get the next one, and the next. If that fucker had something like a loyalty card I'm sure I'd have enough airmiles to take me around the world a few times over.

batreleaser · 08.02.2008, 02:52 PM

i get what youre saying. i have some bands like that. wenever i see something by the fall i dont own, i buy it. same thing with all wu tang clan members.

acousticrock87 · 08.02.2008, 03:03 PM

I can't think of any, but usually when I get really into a band for a few albums they've released I'll go out and try to get everything they've done. Usually I'll only get halfway through and then find something better to spend my money on, but it leaves me with a ton of albums I wouldn't normally buy.

demonrail666 · 08.02.2008, 03:05 PM

i will be any new album by The Fall, but unlike with Jon Spencer or Sonic Youth, I do have a certain fascination to see what they'll do next.

pbradley · 08.02.2008, 03:12 PM

Tom Waits and R.E.M. come to mind for me.

radarmaker · 08.02.2008, 05:39 PM

Mudhoney are the first & only ones that spring to mind.

Yes. Definately.

Also:
Bright Eyes
Sonic Youth
Flaming Lips
Modest Mouse

I pretty much buy any new album I see buy a band I'm into without knowing anything about it.

acousticrock87 · 08.02.2008, 06:12 PM

Bright Eyes, yes. But so far there haven't been any bad ones. Maybe Noise Floor.

Beck. Nine Inch Nails. Wilco.

drrrtyboots · 08.02.2008, 09:30 PM

Sonic Youth, Animal Collective and Yo La Tengo are all ones my wallet can never say no to.

viewtiful_alan · 08.02.2008, 09:33 PM

Nine Inch Nails always wind up in my collection on the day of release.
Luckily I haven't really been dissapointed yet, so it isn't a habit I need to break.

acousticrock87 · 08.02.2008, 09:35 PM

I waited too long, and when I got to Best Buy today The Slip was back up to $22. Fuck.

viewtiful_alan · 08.02.2008, 09:36 PM

Haha sucks man. : /
The dvd it comes with is really good.
You can always go on ebay or amazon and pick up a used copy im sure..?

acousticrock87 · 08.02.2008, 09:38 PM

I'll get it eventually one way or another. I think I just don't feel rushed cause I've had it for so long already. Ghosts I bought immediately before I heard it, but that wasn't even an option here.

viewtiful_alan · 08.02.2008, 09:47 PM

Ghosts was amazing.
ANd surprisingly enough it didn't feel bloated either.

Pookie · 08.03.2008, 05:04 AM

None anymore for me, but loads in the past: Sonic Youth, Ramones, Meat Puppets, and quite a few more.

I had every Ramones album at one point, but have whittled that down to oe now!

I had every Black Flag record, despite their quality deteriorating rapidly after Damaged.

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.03.2008, 05:36 AM

none out of habit.many out of choice
the fall (because its a good reason to look forward to next year as there always will be a new fall album)

stu666 · 08.03.2008, 06:12 AM
