I abandoned Last.fm when shortly after the CBS takeover they did a 180 and became the mouthpiece of the record labels instead of a disruptive force.
I didn't mind so much that they had to compromise, but the classic recording industry PR-speak they used to justify it was just offensive. Shortly afterwards they pretty much stopped communicating and innovating altogether.
A shame, because for discovery I still haven't found anything better than Last.fm's combination of "scrobbling" and community.
