I hope this has not been asked.  I found it by mistake.  I was googling something while trying to do about three things at once and put in the wrong thing in the search field and up came this site.  I'm glad I made that mistake.

I was searching for new bands on the internet, and everytime I ended up on this site.

no matter which band I entered on google this site was on top or near the top of the list (even mariah carey).

So after reading many, many reviews I realised that this was one of if not the bets site concerning the music I like.

What I like best.

1. lay-out
2. easy to search for the info you need (including the links to the bands page)
3. well informed reviews by most of the reveiwers (collaborators mainly, but also from non collaborators)
4. nice forum with good topics and discussion (at the time of joining, since I arrived the level has decreased a little)

5. The best forum lay-out I've encountered so far

 

I like it here,

I was searching for the discography of a band, I forget which, and this site came up. After a look around the site, I added it to my favourites. I didn't become a member for a long, long time though!

A friend showed it to me, i stayed because of the good variety of reviews, and large database of bands spanning multiple subgenres. Then I registered on the forum and have been trapped ever since.

searching for information on an unplugged DT show

 

Does that lose me '70s prog credentials?

i'm surprised at some of the responses. i thought it would all be 'i got pissed at Rolling Stone's Yes discography Angry and, in turn, googled "Yes Discography." and got a link hereClap

at least that's what i did. i periodically go back to rollingstone.com to have a laugh. (they gave IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING no stars out of 5. now even i don't dislike that album THAT muchLOL)

Are you serious? That's completely taking out all credibility of this site...

 

Anyway, I don't remember how I found this site. Probably by searching for a band on google...

I can't remember exactly. It may have been a link from 'The Ultimate Mellotron Site'. I have just checked this site but can't find the link again. It has been changed however. Still, does it matter? We are here.

yeah, man. but here's what even funnier: It's a rare thing that Rolling Stone actually has a written review for any other band from the 60's than, in fact, The Rolling Stones. And they actually wrote a review for In the Court of the Crimson King. And from what i could gather, the writer of the review would give the album 3 or 4 stars based on what he/she said about the album. But again, the star rating was 0/5. I think thay had seperate reviewers each give a personal rating: on a star review and one a written review. That's whay I go to the site for a laugh.

Plus I get to see if the new Hilary Duff cd is better than the last!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!

For me, I was on a different forum, and somebody there was talking about this website and how the people were much nicer there. It turns out that that person was DallasBryan.

but I actually discovered this goldmine through googling Matching Mole ...

Much like one of those horror films where the individual (no matter how scared of the seemingly empty slaughterhouse/wax museum/mausoleum, etc), enters the building yelling 'HELLO? HELLO? ANYBODY THERE?'

Naturally the door slammed shut after me and I haven't left since.
