Added later: So here’s my problem. Some of these bands I know and dislike, some I know and like, so that’s easy. But a few of them I know nothing about. I could download albums or listen to them on MySpace or whatever and try to form an opinion, right? (OK, actually that’s obviously what i should do.) But sometimes it’s cool to have your first experience of a band be a live show? So what I need is some way to get an idea of the quality of a band quickly. How about this: a Firefox plugin that, when you right-click the name of a band, it instantly searches Pitchfork album reviews and shows the highest score any of the band’s albums have ever gotten on there. Or maybe the highest + the average score for a little flavor. Or maybe the highest + the average + the # reviewed + the # of albums the band has released. Am I making any sense? Sometimes it’s hard to tell when I’m a bit hungover.
