List your favorite online music related resources here. Discographies, magazines, guides, e-stores, etc. The more the merrier.

My fave www.secondhandsongs.com - a huge comprehensive database of cover songs. Its great when you know who covered the song but, need to know who wrote the original, or how many times a song has been covered & who by. It also includes songs that have been sampled.

www.allmusic.com

Essential

www.nme.com *ducks* sorry, but i luvz it, especially the features section where they have a lot of full albums for you to preview and a lot of songs to download.....great stuff....

http://www.beatles-discography.com/

^ great for whenever im doing one of my many beatles assignments at school.

i usually end up checking out label sites like:
www.alternativetentacles.com
www.havocrex.com
www.cahrecords.com
www.profaneexistence.com

www.aversionline.com is a good online zine

www.contempl8.net good place to get political shirts/stickers/etc..

www.crimethinc.com - good source for "revolutionary" news

when i cant think of the name of a band, but know the song, or just want to check out some unknowns ill try www.interpunk.com

and of course myspace is a good way to find local bands, i especially like the way you can search by band name, genre, country, state, etc.

www.purevolume.com
Only bin there a couple of times but is handy for all your underground bands.

www.discographyguide.com - not as comprehensive as i'd like, but still quite a help in a pinch
www.archive.org - the most resourceful site on the net. Iv'e found stuff on here I would never be able to find anywhere else. Audio, movies live concert footage. check it out, its awesome !!!!!!

Both world music and New Jazz are slowly beginning to dominate the whole hippie/jam band scene so a place to go for that would be www.relix.com. sure there's more than a handful of jam bands, but you might be surprised by what you find.
I might check out www.yellowratbastard.com Iv'e always found great indie/hip-hop reviews in their magazine.

Anyone interested in progressive rock needs to check this out.

http://www.progarchives.com/

This site covers a lot of obscure, talented band's from around the world who need to be heard...It also offers free(and legal)mp3's.

Yeah, That's what I use for most of my info.
