Just out of curiosity, are there any albums you bought this year that you didn't end up liking? I have a friend who's the same way about movies. Every movie he decides to watch, he loves.
But I guess I'll have to give the edge to Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree since she has the best album cover. I mean just look at her.
Agreed!
"A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

nope - I don't love 'em all
......not a huge fan of the new my My Morning Jacket, Black Keys, Hold Steady, Breeders, Stephen Malkmus, Girl Talk, The Ting Tings, Tapes N' Tapes, Sarah Slean, Sia, Brian Jonestown Massacre.....

I'm the same way. I pretty much know that I will like a movie before I go and see it. Very RARELY (Indiana Jones IV...dammit...) am I ever surprised by not liking something I decided to go see. I have a very good radar about what I like and what I don't. It then just ends up being a matter of "how much" I like something.
It's the same way with music. If it is by an artist I don't know of, all I have to do is read a handful of reviews to get a description of their music and I pretty much usually know that I will like it to some degree at least.
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
