http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,6903,1207579,00.html
For those who are most interested in getting a brief overview on the history of pop music, The Observer makes that possible. Though they give their own definition of the top 50 moments that most shaped pop music’s history, they do offer explanations as to why these moments were so influential.


A Classically Classical Must
http://www.classical.net/music/links/submit.html
Classical net allows for classical music buffs to submit their own personal favorite classical music sites without any attached fees. They have also made it possible for their visitors to submit audio/visual links and advertise on their site. Not just any music site will be guaranteed submission, though. Each entry will be carefully looked over to ensure that it solely focuses on classical music.


Rock In Its Various Forms
http://www.rockument.com
Rockument.com’s primary focus appears to be on keeping classic rock alive. They still offer their visitors the opportunity to purchase the out-of-print rock music documentary entitled Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties (which happens to include performances by bands like The Grateful Dead). This is not the only documentary offered on this site though. They also offer many others on artists such as Bob Dylan.


Great Expectations
http://classicalwebcast.com
Classical Live Online Radio is for those who appreciate the relaxing sound of classical music. This site states that their purpose is “to collect all live-broadcasting classical radio stations on the Web.” They not only display links to these sites but, in addition, they explain the content of each site.


Music and More Music
http://www.accuradio.com
Accuradio.com is a site for anyone who has any interest in online radio whatsoever. Though they do provide stations featuring American top 40 hits, they also make it possible for those with more specific musical preferences to have their needs meet, with stations such as Modern Rock Classics, Brit Rock, and Swingin’ Pop Standards. Also, everyone with Internet access can easily choose to listen to any of their 240 stations, since they are all free.
