I guess there's Pandora, though we can't get that here in Ireland so I don't know how good or bad it is. People talk about Soulseek too.

Thanks. I guess there is no perfect method for online playlists to share with people. I can already tell Grooveshark will be too frustrating because songs can go missing at any time and many artists are already missing 1-3 songs from their entire library. YouTube has most albums but with commercials and missing some of the less popular albums. I do not have much experience yet with Spotify but it appears to have most albums but with commercials. I guess on Spotify with the free version at least won't waste skips when listening to entire playlists all the way through and just need to deal with commercials. While it was ideal to have all playlists on one site, I guess for the sake of this project, will need to use whichever resources I can use.

Regarding Grooveshark, I wonder what the main reasons are for tracks suddenly disappearing.

I haven't actually noticed tracks disappearing, but I don't use GS enough to notice that. I've just seen that on occasions when I need a particular album to review, a track or two may be missing --- or they may be out of sequence. I use the paid version of Spotify and once your album is there it's pretty cool. It's definitely worth paying 9.99 to get rid of ads.

So far Spotify has been great today. I am not sure why I stuck with Grooveshark for so long. Well, I know it was to avoid ads but Spotify is pretty slick adding albums to playlists. I do not have to worry about quality of tracks, missing songs, or files not named correctly.

I will be creating playlists for all of the bands on Spotify now (and for the rare ones I cannot do there, I will either use Grooveshark or Youtube). For anyone who wants to participate in this project and wants to use the playlists I set up, go ahead and find me by searching this on Spotify spotify:user:joenorwood77

Hey you've got a great idea!!
Well, G'n'R was one of my favourite bands when I was teen. I don't follow them since they released Use Your Illusion.
My top five fav songs are:

Mr. Brownstone
Think About You
Rocket Queen
You're Crazy (GnR Lies Acoustic Version)
You Ain't The First

Talking about their strengths/weaknesses I can tell you that (IMO of course!) Steven was really better than Matt as drummer, Axl's voice went slowly downhill from the middle of 90's, Slash still kicks ass and Duff too.
And what about Izzy?

Thank you for joining in on the discussion! I strongly prefer the Lies version of You're Crazy. Again, nice to see Rocket Queen in the top 5 for someone! I can't argue with Brownstone on the list either.

Adler was far better than Sorum. His drum flow fit perfectly with the rest of the band on Appetite.

And if I recall right, the correct question (taken from Don't Cry video); "where's Izzy" LOL

Izzy was a solid songwriter for sure.

I totally agree with that. I love his drums playing style!
