• [TOMT][song][early 2000s?] I know the song, but I can't figure out who the band is

  You're right, the singer does sound a bit like the singer in my mystery "Hustlin'" song. However, on allmusic.com, it says that Flash Mob Jazz formed in 2012 when the members were "studying jazz at university in London." If this singer was university-aged in 2012, he would have been too young to be the singer on "Hustlin'." While I don't know how old the song is, I do know that I downloaded it sometime in 2004 or...

  Look at the allmusic.com. Cash has a lot of anthologies. He started recording with Sun Records along side Elvis Presley in the '50. The official releases will the ones from Sun, Columbia, Mercury, and American for the most part. Source: 12 months ago

• Piano technicians, how would one train to do this for a living?

  But I am glad to learn from the experts. You surely can name those fantastic piano technicians, because they should be credited in really outstanding recordings and can be found in the respective credits on allmusic.com, right? Source: about 1 year ago

• how do you guys find so much new music?

  Then because I like one of these features, say Pink Matter by Frank Ocean, I go look at Frank Ocean on Spotify, and listen to his stuff as well as "similar artists" on Spotify. And you know of course, he's related (musically) to Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt (Which should be listed on his similar artists). So we'll pretend I just heard Tyler and I look him up on allmusic.com. I see that he's been featured... Source: about 1 year ago

• What music genre?

  Search the artist and title in various sources: a general websearch, on a music site like allmusic.com or music forums like Steve Hoffmans... Source: about 1 year ago

• Just an appreciation post for Sizzla's album - radical

  According to allmusic.com he has 58 albums! Source: about 1 year ago

• Beggars Banquet vs Sticky Fingers vs Some Girls day 5

  I went on allmusic.com and it's the lowest rated album the Stones released up to that point other than "got live" Every album before GHS has 4.5 or 5 stars. GHS has 3.5. The Stones had 12 great albums in 10 years. It's natural that after a certain amount of albums/years a band starts to decline. GHS was the start of that decline. It's not in the ballpark of being the level of quality of the work they did... Source: about 1 year ago

• Suggest classic albums / must listens

  I might suggest you visit allmusic.com and search out artists about which you are curious. There are complete discographies throughout including star ratings and while those can be unreliable, the evaluations by the staff are well-reasoned and could give you plenty of guidance...

• Welcome To This World

  More importantly though, does anyone know how the title of this song would be properly capitalized? I've seen it in all caps on the back of album covers, but also as "Welcome to This World" on wikipedia.com and allmusic.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• How do you discover new music?

  Look at genres or new releases on allmusic.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Are there websites where you add artists/albums you like and it suggest artists/albums ? A bit like Spotify but only based on discovering music, not listening.

  I've used allmusic.com for a long time. It's more analog than you're describing, in that you go to a band's page that you like and browse their "Related" tab to see what bands they are similar to, and even who their influences might have been. Source: about 1 year ago

• Wikipedia (& other online music databases) vs. the "Recording Industry Association of America". When wanting to know exact, accurate information about music (such as the exact release date of an album), who can someone really trust?

  My problem comes when trying to answer questions like: When did [album name] come out? Wikipedia will, ~99% of the time, have an exact year and month, and usually day of the month as well, in which the album was first released to the public. I can cross examine these dates on other leading music database platforms such as rateyourmusic.com or allmusic.com, but about half of the time the information is contrasting...

• Is the any way to find current day artists who play in a similar style to past artists?

  On allmusic.com, the artist entries have a "Related Artists" category, and within that is a "Followed by" category that lists the artists who were influenced by that band. It's a jumble of many different time periods but lots of newer bands are there too. Source: over 1 year ago

• Offspring - Get It Right (1983)

  According to allmusic.com the song is credited to "The Offspring" (as are all but one or two tracks with co-credits) but wikipedia shows it as credited to Dexter himself (same as allmusic except "Dexter Holland" gets credit where "The Offspring" does on allmusic). Source: over 1 year ago

• When is the last time an Instrumental made the Top 20 on Popular Music platforms?

  Lists and "best" is subjective and machines dont have feelings or opinions they only deal with yes or no so not worried about AI putting me in a list but I have always liked discovering new music on my own and making my own opinion wether its good "to me" or not. Check out allmusic.com its the wikipedia of music and you can cross reference and do tons of research and then you go to youtube and listen to stuff you... Source: over 1 year ago
