I have used these three sites, a million times, I have hanged around for only to read info and stuff, they are great and very professional and high quality, one of the best reviewrs on the net, much better then Rolling Stone

i like them all very much, they have all inspired me in the fields they give info about, i am a moive facts buff so All Movie Guide is a wonderfull page for movie facts and reviews

which do you use as a info for media, what device to you prfear OUT OF THESE THREE. 


good luck Big smile

AllMusic for me - if I want movie stuff, I generally head to imdb, and game stuff...well, I don't play many anymore, but I get all/most of my recommendations from friends.

Ditto.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

To be honest I was only aware of the existence of All Music Guide, and I can't really use it as a "guide" as I disagree with the ratings so much that they seem almost random to me.

I don't understand how sooooo maqny people hold AllMusic in such high esteem... I'm really disappointed with what I search on there.... They ma have some areas of xpertise, but even then it's only prtial
 
 
A lot of jazz lovers enhance AM's reputation, but if you look for anything remotely non-US, they haven't got much...
 
ditto for movies
 
 
I'll use RYM that many times more than AllMusic.... I'll only resort to these AMG sites in case no others carry the info I'm looking for .... and in 99% of the time, I won't find it there as well.
 
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

This doesn't seem to match my taste either.

Yes, there's no need for Allmusic. Even the reviews and rating are better at RYM. Its top charts (alltime, genres, yearly...) are better than than any of the professionals (magazine's or sites) have ever managed to put together as well.

Discogs is useful if you're a collector, though.
