I hate to say it, but Myspace is a bit good for the amount of bands on there. Purevolume for American bands used to be alright. Failing that www.torrentspy.com (avoid porn links like the clap).

I've been using thepiratebay mainly, there's a couple of new oink replacement sites but they don't have much on them yet.

www.mininova.org is the best one I use. Torrentspy just has links to other places now.

I think I used it to search for porn when I was about 13, got too many viruses and crap from it and never used it again.

Google. Seriously.

Just type the name of the album then "rapidshare" and you'll find loads of blog style sites where people upload albums and stuff.

Or there's 1albums.com. (http://www.1albums.com)

Obviously I buy all my music from HMV though...

That's sort of what i do, type in the band name and album title with torrent after it and loads of choices generally come up.
