Not just album cover (which, awesome album cover does help) but band name too.
For example, an amazing band called Diarrhea Planet. I discovered them (before they were famous of course) and found some amazing music. When I tried to share them with my friends, they weren't willing to listen to it because they "already knew what was coming" or "thought it would sound terrible" but were then pleasantly when they found themselves humming along to "Ghost With A Boner". Granted, I'm willing to give any band a chance (and then hate them) so I don't really do this, but have any of you guys had pre-dispositions due to a band name or album cover?

You found they were awesome.
doesn't mean i like everything, but i give everyone a fair shot
That's not to say I don't still give them a chance, but I generally need to be impressed just with any other band.
if i hate the artist, i hate the song
For example, Diarrhoea Planet. I've never heard of them before this post, but I'm Youtube searching them as I type.
I find a lot of punk bands have great names like that. Gang Green, Pansy Division, Propaghandi, Dayglo Abortions (a personal favourite).
