Recommend some music rank/review/sharing sites.

Post by Mozgus »

As much as I love game and movie soundtracks, my "normal" music folder has gotten incredibly stale in recent years. I know of Pandora, and as awesome as it is, I really get the feeling its selection is too limited, and it's music "matchmaking" isn't all that great. I really want something like Pandora's streaming ability, crossed with some community reviews and recommended similar artists.

Before I go googling, I figured I should ask here.

Oh and in before myspace. :x

Allmusic.com is fairly common knowledge, right? I know it's not a sharing site, but it is really informative. I guess it's not really what you're looking for, but it is worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

(Allmovie and Allgame are fun to read as well.)

What kind of music do you like? Maybe I could recommend you a few bands.

You should use www.last.fm

It's a great way to discover new music.

Yeah it turns out I made an account there September 2006 and never did anything on it. I like it so far.

Edit: I'm pretty pleased so far. Here's my account, then.

Got the plugin for winamp, so it should add everything I play.

Gonna try it out.
