Not for the social networking side, Last.fm is a fantastic way to discover new music

I second this! Last FM>>>>>Spotify or any of those streaming sites. If your a serious music fan Last FM not only caters to your own taste but expands it.

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!).

This List is a Joke

The "most established" music sites in the UK, like them or loathe them, are NME.com and mtv.co.uk. Both are bigger than anything here. I'm just saying. Stuff like Quietus have their place, but they are tiny.

the list isn't the best, like most lists something will be missed out but to include the NME as one of the best 25 music sites is stupid! Their music reviews are awful and I get the same feelings of rage if I read it as I do reading the Daily Mail.

only one with a sense of humour, coverage from pop to truly avant garde, occasional (readable) academic pieces, and film reviews.

"By far the most "established" music sites in the UK are www.nme.com and www.mtv.co.uk. Both bigger than anything here"

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.

Most useful website on the internet for listening to new music and keeping track of your plays among other things. I'm sure its 30 million plus other users would agree with me..

Pretty nice list put together. I thought DayTrotter was interesting as I've never heard of it. I'm an avid visitor of "The Daily Swarm" as well as "MOG" (which I'm surprised didn't make the list). I also have my own modest music and entertainment blog that I run completely myself. Check it out if you are looking for some entertainment.

Without that service in this list, this is not worth looking at. Drowned in Sound too.

http://www.consequenceofsound.net - Chicago based music site covering a huge variety of genres, brilliant writers and one of the coolest features ever- "Festival Outlook".

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

Omitting Last.fm from this list is like omitting The Godfather from a top 25 films. Disgraceful.

to thekohser: where's the list?

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.

At last! Somewhere where you con find new music. I live in Japan and so 99% of the music content of radio here is Japanese (mostly awful).

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.
