It's more based on informed decisions rather than blindly buying every new CD out that week. I have taken risks in purchasing, but even then I have mostly been pleasantly suprised. (See below)

I'll agree with you here. this is a better interpretation of what I meant. Apologies again. (My fingers type faster than I think ;-) )

Yes, what each of us perceive as 'good' is merely subjective. I have bought albums which initially I thought were crap, only to spend time listening and hearing it's finer points... I don't like recommending music unless people have expressed an interest in that sort of style, and are willing to commit to listening. I usually lend a CD of something similar and if they like that, then I'll expand on the topic.
