Movie soundtracks. Well over half my CD's are a result of buying a soundtrack with ONE song that I liked...then I end up buying their whole discography.
How did you find out about the bands you like?

I discovered one of my favourite bands, Disturbed, in Tony Hawk's Underground 2.
Most other bands are recommendations from friends or just randomly finding them on the internet, such as Youtube music videos.

Billy Talent -- Heard of them from one of the 'Burnout' games for the PS2. Don't ask which one; I own them all for the PS2, and I'm not going through them all just to find them. I own all their albums now, and they are probably one of my all-time favorite bands.
King Diamond -- I was really into heavy metal when I was growing up, took a chance blindly ordering the 'Conspiracy' tape through the mail, and I still listen to him to this day. The man is a vocal and songwriting genius.
Muse, Air, Emily Loizeau, Modest Mouse, Kaiser Chiefs -- Blame XM Radio.
Volbeat -- A friend who lives in Sacramento burned us a CD to listen to for the drive back home.
Lillian Axe -- My friend bought their tape thinking it was a female singer/group. That was funny. Even though wasn't what she thought, still not bad.
Nuno, Ny Loose -- When I was a teenager, the record shop I used to visit whenever I could would put out free sampler tapes of the newest rock/indie music to hit the scene. Nuno's song on there was 'Crave' and Ny Loose's was 'Rip Me Up'.
Yes, I am old. When I say 'record shop' they really DID sell records. If I couldn't buy it locally, I'd order music through the mail (often without ever hearing the band first) I got pretty good at researching bands through metal magazines before I bought my music. Through reviews and interveiws, I generally had a good idea of what to expect.

Usually from putting the music channel on, the radio and even recommendations from friends. A friend told me about Maximum the Hormone and it's become one of my favourite bands. Oh and magazines don't hurt either.
