It’s funny that although everyone listens to music, a lot less people read about it. Compared to cinema and television the art form of music is apparently less interesting to read about online. That being said, there is a huge market of course, and there is a big number of quality websites that cater to it excellently. There are few reasonably general ones that cover literally everything, like Pitchfork, Ore or Allmusic, but most of them are very genre specific. So there are a lot of cool hip hop websites out there, or indie rock blogs etc.We have gathered the ones that are the most popular by views, as well as the ones that are rated the best – true music journalism.
