DHEK: Actually that's never happened to me.
scriptorum: I can think of only one time that happened. I saw Colin Hay on The Larry Sanders Show and then bought several of his albums.
vampywife: No, I don't usually watch regular TV, therefore rarely see musical acts on said TV. I usually get recommendations from friends or hear a snippit of a song on the radio.
eddyspaghetti: not since high school>

Tennantgamer: Yes, George Clinton was doing a show on M2 (back when they just played music videos) and I liked it so i got his best of. I then went to show this really cool cd (I thought) to a good freind of mine in highschool. It turns out that my freind was actually George Clinton's grandson. Pretty amazing isn't it?
vetinari7878: I don't think it has ever happened to me.
MisterCranky: Hmm, good question. I begrudgingly admit that I don't think I have.

heli: n
CDRodeffer: Never happened to me.
Lord_Prussian: Not often. In fact, more often I'll see an act on TV that I know and they sound so awful I wonder why I like them. I don't think music works well on TV for whatever reason. As an aside, has an act on SNL ever sounded good?
