Re: Sites to enhance your downloading experience

www.skipscreen.com = I've been using this for at least a month and it's been pretty great. It skips waiting times on sites like zshare and megaupload. It still might have some little problems here and there but you can send them suggestions and they actually listen. You can choose which sites you w...

Don't sleep on Mark 563 and Grass's collections too. 100% bangers. (Affirming what Verge said) It takes time, but you really gotta download and listen to the selections, rather than just looking at the tracklists, to properly vote. There's crazy sleeper tracks all throughout this competition, which ...

I don't think anything on the Bizzy Boyz album really came close to their "I'm Droppin' It" single, but I'll give it another listen. Yeah, definitely not a contender for year's best, but the album has its moments. One of my favs is "Too Deep For the Mortal Mind." Ski seriously rips it on there. But...

OK. I had a really hard time with this, because pre-1997 covers A LOT of ground and I started with a list of way over 100 selections. I narrowed it down, but still ended up with too many.
