RYM - Too much to read, honestly. To be fair you probably have a point about it being better than Amazon.

Christgau - Okay, he was a dick, but some of his putdowns were funny, and he occasionally threw a hot take that was kind of fascinating actually.

GEPR - New Gibraltar Encyclopedia Of Progressive Rock.

Here’s an example:

It’s not really a very good encyclopedia for bigger bands but they had some information on some of the smaller ones I’ve checked out over the years (I hope you’ll understand just how amazed I was to find any information at all about METAMORFOSI on the Internet in 2000 when I got into their album–when Legion sent me the mp3s he claimed he couldn’t find a lineup for the band!)

I also don’t bother with progarchives.
