Conversely, you buy a CD from a band you've never heard of just because you like the album art or maybe even the title or the band name, and you find out it's a god damn masterpiece from start to finish. This is how I discovered Audioslave almost 20 years ago and it's the best $14 I ever spent. I still have the disc btw and it still plays perfectly.

That album showed me how to live.

But it didn't give you life... Wait, did it?

Technically the one I bought on a whim back then was Out of Exile, which I would now consider the weakest of the three, but I liked it enough to seek out more.

That's how I bought the Hybrid Theory album from Linkin Park. Took a chance, knew nothing about them.

This was LD50 for me
