Ever listened to an album just because its name sounded cool?

Absolutely. But it's mainly the album art that gets me.

I have never been a fan of U2, but I gave Achtung Baby some attention, because there was something I liked about that name.

ive been willing to listen to bands if i liked their name just to see what they sounded like.

A lot of times, like stated above, even at times just band names that sound interesting. Years of Rice and Salt, Screamadelica, Plains of the Purple Buffalo, much like an album cover being awesome pretty much leads me to getting it.

Ah. I hope I didn't fall victim to that with "The Unforgettable Fire," but it's possible. The name is very cool, and when I bought that album, I only knew one or two of its songs well. It's one of my favorite U2 albums, now, so it worked out for me.

A 'cool' album name would appeal but the content is of far more importance to me personally.

Grouper's Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill has an amazing title, and that's my primary motivator to listen to it.
