I’m always on the lookout for new music and the web is an excellent place for discovering just that. And by new music I mean new to me, not necessarily music from the last couple of years. Let’s say that you, just like me, like the Australian band AC/DC, here’s what you do:
go to allmusic.com and search for AC/DC, then you’re sent to an informative page telling you among other things that the band was formed in 1973, but the information we are looking for is further down on the page, under the heading “Influenced By”. Here you can see that AC/DC was influenced by, amongst others, The Who and Led Zeppelin. These bands you can hear music from on YouTube, MySpace and many other places.
Happy hunting!
