Web Wednesday: AllMusic.com

With so much music available today, it’s hard to know where to start. First of all, there are probably bands one would love if one only knew about them. Do you like the Black Eyed Peas? Try Wyclef Jean’s The Preacher’s Son. AllMusic made that link for me. Or let’s say that you wanted to buy a Frank Sinatra album. He recorded for over sixty years; with a catalog that big, which one should you buy?

The site is the online home of the All Music Guide – you may have seen one of their publications at a library or bookstore. There are artist bios, album lists, album reviews, song ratings, and links to similar artists. Search for your favorite artist and explore. Be careful; it could be addicting.
