Albums you bought because of this site...

Has anyone bought CD's because you accidently found out about them while trying to get another band in the database?
I've bought CD's of Zan Clan, Beautiful Creatures, Steel Prophet, Shotgun Messiah, Extreme and Seven Witches only because of this site.

... did you like them?

Yep, pretty much all of them.

I've read some incredible reviews that almost inspired me to track down the albums. But nothing so far.

Since I check out everything via filesharing before buying, I've found out about several bands on here that I've tossed on my (hundreds of albums long) list of items to look into.

This review for Earth Eighteen is one that comes to mind.

... this record flat-out scares me, as a musician who'd like to earn his living making music. "butterfly" is, in my opinion, almost indisputably one of the great rock masterpieces of the 1990's (and, in my opinion, one of the 10 best albums i own, out of about 4000 or so) ...

... cropped up when I was looking out Soft Machine links. Heard something awesomely beautiful on the radio the other day. It was him ("The Road To St. Ives"). Wouldn't necessarily have picked up on it had it not been for the Softs connection. Highly recommended if you like Jazz-Classical. I'd give it a miss if your exclusive listening is punk/rap/hiphop.
