That was also the only use I ever got out of MySpace, checking out new bands/musicians quickly to decide whether I wanted to hear more. IIRC facebook did try a similar feature but never really catched on.

As a result, I find it to be a perfect replacement for discovering new bands in the same way I used Myspace. It's mainly russian bands who use the site, however.

For many niche interests, it was actually livelier than reddit is today. Persistent security holes plagued them, though, and it sort of disappeared shortly after the News Corp buyout. Nothing I've read paints a picture of Myspace as a classic feat of software engineering.
