What AllMusic actually is

AllMusic has been building a structured database of recorded music since the days of print, with staff reviews, full personnel credits and every release tagged by style, mood and theme. Artist pages carry influence and follower links that let you walk a genre's family tree.

Why it is worth your time

The credits are the hidden feature. Following one session drummer from record to record uncovers a run of albums no genre tag would ever have grouped together.
