Grooveshark was awesome! From the brand, the UI, the service. RIP Grooveshark.

They really were the best, and they had obscure music that I would have never expected they'd have. Old SNES game OST like the super mario rpg soundtrack was there. It felt like if I could think it, I could find it. Ad-free and flawless free experience.

Truly a gem.

I was using it at my job when it went down. Music stopped, things weren't responding, reloaded the page and knew it wasn't coming back.

I was using it way back when you could use their Java Applet to upload your music. Had my entire library on it!

Yes! And there were the deep cuts of songs too.

It was a wild ride. I am so fortunate to have been there for the time that I had.

Appreciate the love everyone's been sending in the comments. It's good to not be forgotten :)

Indeed. I was a paid user, hoping for the site to get some legitimacy.

Unfortunately we need to change the copyright system for music to require a uniform fee only if we ever want to see another groveshark.

If you're looking for that specifically and weren't aware of it already, there's a ton of old videogame OSTs archived on KHinsider.
