If this thread gets enough responses, I will try and compile and categorise all the links into the first post.

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.

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

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.

a few I like that haven't been mentioned.

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.

lololol

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.

Sometimes I think Coldplaying WoM is good enough for me :tongue:

^ 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:

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.

i don't know so much music site...
