Most visited 'utility' websites

[forgottenglory]

I've been wondering what are your 5 most important 'utility' websites which you visit/use most often?

Mine are:

1. amazon.co.uk - for most of my CD/DVD purchases
2. youtube.com - for my music video fix
3. last.fm - for non-Metal, background music listening
4. wolfgangsvault.com - for vintage live concert recordings
5. metalsludge.com - for the latest gossip in the Hard Rock and Metal community.

What are yours?

looks like one of those "pick your five" on facebook, ahaha!

So, leaving out social networks, here's my list:
- Repubblica.it (most popular italian online newspaper)
- Play.com (where I spend most of my money)
- Slamrocks.com (Italy's no.1 rock 'n' roll webzine)
- Google Maps/Streetview
- Traffico.octotelematics.it (real-time traffic situation of Rome's roadring - pretty useful!)

- Play.com - for the very cheap CDs
- GrooveShark - this is the new one, completely free music (and legal), also some pretty obscure artists and CDs can be found from there. Recommended!
- TotalRock.com/imperiumi.net/Knac.com - for the heavy news (3 for the price of one)
- Tiira.fi - it's about the birds
- Google Earth

^ This website is awesome! It's even better than last.fm! I've been listening to a lot of 80's Pop...

Hard to get the full definition, but the sites I check pretty much every time I go online are

BBC - news is good but the sports coverage is fantastic.

FIRA-AER Forum - a forum for all things about European rugby with a focus outside of the UK/6 nations rugby scene. (resulting in me founding the Andorra Rugby Fan Club - don't ask!!!)

Wikipedia - great for filling time hitting random article until something good turns up and who knows where it will lead?

Iron Maiden - sorry, I've been obsessed for too many years to mention

Talisman Island - also obsessed with the board game Talisman

http://www.last.fm/
http://www.twitter.com/
http://lab.drwicked.com/writeordie.html

After that it's the 10-15 forums that I belong to

Do you play Talisman over the net somehow?
I have the boardgame myself.

/SE

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

No - it's a nerdy fan site (and a very good one at that). I haven't played properly in years but still hold a torch for it

 

[forgottenglory]

I've had a look by grooveshark.com is by far superior as you can play whole albums. This is going to be very helpful in deciding which albums I spent my hard earned cash on.

Ooh i used to live on that forum, still a shame it became fc only

 

[BurningDownTheMiddle]

I don't check the IM forum that often as it is just too big (you can post a reply and in that time five more threads have already been updated) - I'm normally on when I want something!

Deezer is pretty useful to make playlists to be played randomly, so it's like having a web radio only playing songs you like!

You can play complete albums as well as make playlists that play individual songs at random like a web radio. So I think grooveshark owns deezer.

 

[razoredge]

Im boring
youtube for vids usually of bands I never got to see,
only recently started checking myspace for bands I havent yet heard
wiki for that which I dont know or cant pinpoint
at one time various car forums for my now waning motorhead addiction
ebay for various car part needs and when I was re-establishing my music gear

 

[LavagesOfTime]

So I think grooveshark owns deezer.

you win
