The Escapist Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 What are you favourite, or in your opinion, the best music sites around? Whether it be for MP3s, critic reviews, music streaming and anything else music related. Some great Australian music websites include: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/ http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/ http://www.messandnoise.com/ http://www.thevine.com.au/music/ http://shoottheplayer.com/blog/ Music Critics: http://pitchfork.com/ http://stereogum.com/ http://www.nme.com/ http://www.metacritic.com/ Music Blogs: http://www.blogotheque.net/ http://www.gorillavsbear.net/ http://whothehell.net/ http://www.weallwantsomeone.org/ http://thebrokenspeaker.com/ Downloads and Streams http://hypem.com/#!/ http://www.last.fm/home http://www.daytrotter.com/ http://bandcamp.com/ Tabs (Guitar/Bass/Piano) http://www.911tabs.com/ http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ If this thread gets enough responses, I will try and compile and categorise all the links into the first post.

Prince Myshkin Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I don't go on any other than LastFm for the scrobbling and recommendations. I go on here, but I don't see it as a music site. As far as I'm aware that is it. Looking forward to this thread for some suggestions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_gloaming09 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Who's going to say pitchfork first? I was going to post that one first, but I wanted to test to make sure other people remembered to include it :P also for Guitar/Bass/Piano tabs I frequently use ultimate-guitar.com or 911tabs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmuckers Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 theneedledrop.com has very good reviews. he also posts them on youtube under the name theneedledrop. his reviews are very well thought out and articulated and if you watch one you'll watch more i promise. and no it's not me... i just think the guy is good.

Tnspieler1012 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 a few I like that haven't been mentioned. http://www.wearepostrock.com/ http://www.ambientmusicblog.com/ http://afterthepostrock.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still go to Pitchfork for reviews stop and start going to the needle drop. Seems a little less biased and also he backs up what he says, doesn't just barf big words.

deaths_friend Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 i use metacritic to see how new albums are being rated. they're pretty comprehensive. i use fasterlouder as an australian music forum. i use pitchfork quite regularly too and i love daytrotter. NPR and 6Music are both pretty great for music discussion podcasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy_o Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Sometimes I think Coldplaying WoM is good enough for me :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Plastic Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 ^ yeah that, actually. I don't need to hear what some critic thinks about the music. I want to hear from people I know have similar taste if the music is worth listening to :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Sometimes I think Coldplaying WoM is good enough for me :tongue: i agree too. i sparsely use the other sites compared to how much i use this one. i prefer talking about music rather than reading what somebody else thinks.
