I agree with this, but I would add that there are several musicians whose new stuff I will always give a fair shot despite past disappointments.
I edited to add this: did you guys hear about the lost prophets singer who admitted to attempted baby rape? I don't know any of their songs, but it got me thinking, if that was Ed, I don't think I could ever listen to pearl jam again. I am also wondering why the lost prophets guy hasn't been brutally murdered yet.

me too, but i don't think that's the same thing. And there are definitely artists I still love that have disappointed me--the ones I still love are the ones that bounce back.
I think we can probably throw a baby rape caveat onto anyone's I love this person no matter what answer
The answer is none. All songwriters are human, for the most part.
But the shortlist who haven't strayed too far from excellence: Homme, Radiohead, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Arcade Fire, Drive-By Truckers, Jack White, LCD Soundsystem (please come back), Mark Lanegan, The National, Pixies (active again!).

I mostly try to separate the art from the artist. Every artist's art has let me down to one degree or another. I have a lot of time to try and discover what Radiohead, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, U2 are trying to achieve. I think they all have some failures in their catolgue though.
As for the artist, I don't know them so I generally don't care. Really just stay away from little kids and rape and I'll probably won't hold it against them as far as buying their art.
