UPDATE
I have decided to open a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/freetherock
EDIT I have cleaned this up a bit and it is now looking a bit sparse. Some of the sites no longer exist and some sites removed the download.
If you are anything like me you will be fanatical about the music you listen too. Many people tend to prefer to download music freely from pirate sites however I prefer to get my music the legitimate way.
Getting music the legitimate way however can become very expensive. What follows is some free legitimate music. Free of course being the best price you can get.
