Which artist will you never pass up on for a buck or two?

PIcked up this record this weekend at a thrift:



and I realized that there are a few artist who I will NEVER pass on when it comes to a $1 record, as long as its its an OG and in reasonable condition.

What are some "relatively common" artists that you will always pick up for a $ or two that you know you will enjoy.

My list includes:

Duke Ellington
Ramsey Lewis (pretty much collected them all though...but will always upgrade if the condition is right)
Antonio Carlos Jobim
Astrud Gilberto
Marvin Gaye

How about you?
Who's discography takes up some crazy space on your expedit shelves...but didn't require too much of an investment?

    Vintage Kinks LPs in good shape. I like to buy them and find them good homes for free.

    A buck?
    Shit, I'll buy anything that looks remotely interesting for a buck.

    Me too, hence reams of utter shite and an impressive 10:1 crud to quality ratio on my shelves. No Prefab Sprout, though, so there's always that...

    Hosono.

    Even if he's only listed as playing triangle on one track, or making green tea.

    That LP is as appealing as a spider bite.
