The quietus
Late last year the creators of The Quietus decided to design a website catering for the intelligent music fan between the ages of 21 and 73. The site, which comprises quality music criticism of the kind you'd find in broadsheet supplements, including reviews features, has been growing ever since. They've already put on gigs in London at Madame Jojo's White Heat night and The Lexington, and are now planning to work with live promoters, festivals, radio stations and book publishers.

Comments
Furthermore the omission of any actual hip hop blog-sites is disappointing (despite the fact that there is a target audience, it would have given credibility to putting people on to new things). Sites such as Nah Right and The Smoking Section provide regulard updates of hip hop songs, videos, news and reviews allowing the user to select what reflects their taste. I suppose it is the fault of hip hop's misconception. Grime has become more palatable due to the crossing over of former grime artists (Dizzee Rascal is certainly not a grime artist these days!).
But the article is titled 'the 25 best music websites". Not "the 25 biggest music websites", or "the 25 most established music websites". Bit of a difference.
Must say 2 of my own favourites i was surprised not to see on the list are bobjuice and grooveshark.
cheers

You also missed Last.fm and MOG.
And of course, my own site! It's not very big yet, but let me know what you think- http://thecoldcut.com
I had the same problem, till I spotted th every small type under the main pic saying:
In pictures: the 25 very best web sites.
Not sure it's worth the effort. Just like the best 4x4 list recently, it missed out some of the obviously best ones, like the amazingly big-selling Cayenne. Not Jezza's favourite, but he's known for his anti-Porsche jibes.
Still you have to pity the guys at the Indy: they can't really be expected to be experts in everything.

I could go to the BBC Radio website but that's a bit hit and miss - so I do what many others do - trawl the P2P downloading networks looking for likely material - this is possibly 50% of their traffic - people checking out music to see if they like it.
Will be bookmarking the best.
