Nothing too popular. Everyone knows about YouTube, etc...

I just found a great one:
https://worldradiohistory.com

https://archive.org/ - Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, and more.

http://www.waybackmachine.org -- You can check websites from anytime in history!

www.openculture.com
The best free cultural & educational media on the web... Also has over 5,000 FREE movies, FREE everything - Audio, College Courses, Art Books, Textbooks, Foreign Language Lessons, Photos, and about 80 other categories.. There's always a headline story, many times about movies. They even have Directors and Actors' favorite movies..

This is a really cool site. I'll have to spend some time exploring it. Thanks for posting it.

I'm a really huge fan of the Internet Archive. Always something interesting to find there, especially the book collections.

Other than Prog Archives and Rate Your Music, here are a few I frequent on an irregular basis, off the top of my head:
Genealogy: 
https://www.ancestry.com/ (my tree has almost 7500 people in it; I will never finish this project)
https://www.myheritage.com/
https://www.familytreedna.com/
https://www.newspapers.com/ (I use this for obituary research, but there is a lot more on here)
Baseball cards (something I started collecting in my youth):
https://www.cardboardconnection.com/
And along with the previous site, baseball stats and history:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/
https://sabr.org/
Science:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/
https://www.sciencenews.org/
https://www.science.org/
Space:
https://www.nasa.gov/
https://www.esa.int/
The usual TV/movie sites:
https://www.imdb.com/
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/
Mostly to solve computer problems, but there's a lot more here:
https://stackexchange.com/
Catalog my books and e-books (bookworm alert):
https://www.librarything.com/home
And the obvious shopping sites when the mood strikes, like Ebay, Discogs, Wayside, LaserCD, Squidco, etc.

that's a happy bag of lettuce
this car smells like cartilage

No-one going to mention the obvious one?

Everyone knows this is the best music site. Great people, and I find that those who love prog-rock seem to have great taste in music, comedy, and so I ask the Miscellaneous stuff here, like this question :)
