Songkick

Here are five sites that will put you in tune with the best live music in your area, using data from your favorite music sites and services.

Songkick

If I had to choose one concert recommendation service above all others, I would pick Songkick. Not many events slip by it, and the site makes it exceedingly easy to integrate your music tastes from iTunes, Pandora, Facebook, and Last.fm. Yahoo likes it so much, it worked out a deal last year to have Songkick provide the relevant concert dates for any artist search.

Pros:
• iTunes import
• Pandora import
• Last.fm import
• Facebook import
• iOS app (Gigkick)

• Post-show reviews and photo uploads

Cons:
• Listings limited only to music
• No Android app
• No Slacker or Blip.fm import
• No direct links to artist Web sites or song previews

I LOVE song kick because I love going to concerts but I always found it hard to find all of the music from the headliner and opening acts. I would have to research their albums and then download them and put them together in a playlist and it took way to long.

I found a really cool website that does all of this for me! PlaylistHQ.com generates spotify and youtube playlists based on a list of concerts that songkick generates. The website is able to bring all of these programs together for the ultimate playlist making machine!
