    Last fm is mostly used to track what you listen to, so you can look at your 'musical progression' or see other fun stats. Although there is a commenting system under artists, the platform does not focus on rating music, which is the central function of Rate Your Music

    Just a site to find artists and keep track of listening. No ratings, comprehensive genre tagging or rating.
