He acts like The Beatles didn't influence anybody. Plus, he seems to think that only the genres which Beefheart influenced are of any importance. And he gives Abbey Road a 7/10, while giving Revolver a 5/100. Which is absolutely mind-boggling. And don't even get me started about the senselessness of his rating of The White Album. And how he thinks that length is important for a song. I mean, seriously, Beefheart didn't make that many long songs either, compared to The Beatles......
And how The Doors and The Byrds were more influential than The Beatles, and how Exile is better than anything The Beatles have done is beyond me. Even seeing the "criteria" he seems to have, it just doesn't make sense.
And he says about Freak Out! that Frank Zappa made a double album while people were barely making LPs.......and he implies on his Beatles page that the only great music is music that is about rebellion and anger and whatever else, and that any three-minute catchy pop song is worthless, and that trying to be optimistic in a troubled time makes your songs outdated or something.

Hey look, I wrote such a long post! So my post must be great, right?

THIS ^ is the best of 'em all, IMO.

He is like a combination of experimental junkie (Scaruffi) and.....well, the casual listener/rock critic.

Like me. 😁

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions Spotify is not yet available in the United States! 🙁

Yeh, Spotify is superb, if you can stand the odd advert, then it's great - it has encouraged me to listen to so much more! 😄

The best program for listening to music is really spotify, it streams like 5 million songs or something and you can listen to them all for free in your computer, don't know if it's working in the states though... For finding new music i use allmusic and wikipedia, i really don't like Scaruffis site, his ratings are pretty fucked up, he just looks at how original and strange a album is really, i mean how can a person give Chelsea Girls by Nico a 4/10, or ...Endtroducing by DJ Shadow a 7/10... It's kinda fun he likes Kanye West though....

Lastfm does exactly that same thing. I never let Lastfm do the "search through my playlist" thing, though, as I don't know their revenue model but am willing to bet it has to do with getting you to allow their cookies onto your PC. 🙄

I found a lot of good stuff on eMusic a couple of months ago. I was mainly looking for new releases and world music and it seems to have quite an exhaustive supply. However, their credit system is annoying and I'm reluctant to sign up.

Bump. If anyone is using last.fm please add me. It's a great website if you listen to a lot music on an mp3 player/computer.

www.emusic.com - decent selection but great price being as low as 25 cents a song. its one of my favorite sources for digital music

great site for looking up basically whatever you wanted to know about anything having to do with music. Also good for finding new bands.

This is a pretty broad topic that I'm starting to find out what are some good Music Websites out there?

I know that is a rather vague question, so to help describe what I'm getting at, I'll tell you some of the best ones I know of:

www.rateyourmusic.com a way to catalogue, rate, discuss, and find music
www.last.fm/ catalogues every song you play digitally and compiles a list of artists you listen to the most then connects you with neighbours who listen to the same bands. If anyone is using Last.FM I would like to add you as a friend. My username is Elstonn (ya, two n's)

My favourite sites for finding good music:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/search/pitchforkmedia/top%20100%20albums
http://www.scaruffi.com/music.html
http://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/pnj/index.php
and this site of course, the forums as well as the lists

What other sites are a good way of finding music?
