Online Source Website Recs

A little bit ago, I asked if it would be all right to start a list of Music Recs that could be bookmarked, added on, and referred to others, so that there wasn't repetition, but everyone would have a fair chance in finding good artists to hear the language with. Now, dear linguaphiles, I've seen a great deal of repetition on online sources that are useful to learners and I'm sure you all are tired of typing the same ones over and over - hence a new rec list.
