Rest in Peace AZLyrics, you will be missed.

  Really? The only lyrics sites I can stand are SongMeanings & RapGenius because they aren't coated in ads and people can explain stuff. AZLyrics is one of my least faves, with MetroLyrics coming in as a fave after the other two.

    The only lyrics sites you can stand are the ones who are burning through investors millions, you mean.

      If someone is going to spend a lot of money in order to provide a more palatable free service, it just seems sensible to take advantage of that?

    I don't understand how people can stand the modern internet without ad blockers and javascript off by default. azlyrics is a bliss if you browse like me. They serve static webpages with just the lyrics. The pages load in fractions of a second as they are so tiny (~10 kilobytes often). Now I tried RapGenius without blocking. It loaded 37 Megabytes (not a typo). That is simply insane. That's 10 times the MP3 version of a song. I guess it was my first visit that was so very VERY bad. But loading another song was still 5 Megabytes. The same song on azlyrics? 13 Kilobytes. SongMeanings is ok size wise, ~500 Kilobytes, sadly normal nowadays. But there it is coated in stuff I am not interested in, comments, etc. azlyrics is perfect if you just want the lyrics and if you are a privacy and performance aware internet user.
