What You'll Find An extensive discography, a gigography dating back to 1991, and an alphabetized lyrics library of more than 200 songs — all of which helped the site earn two Internet-based music awards.
Why It's Essential 2007 will be remembered as the year that revolutionized the way we buy music — thanks in part to Radiohead's pay-what-you-will-to-download album and its Web-savvy fan base.

The site also sports nifty extras like the hidden, eight-page Kid A booklet.
