Does anyone know of a website that is like IMDB for music? If not... is anyone good at web design? ;)

I think this would be a pretty valuable thing... I would especially be interested in :
- Finding out who originally made a song
- Finding out who REmade a song
- Finding band chronologies (who joined / left bands, etc)
etc, etc, etc.

Most or all of this information is AVAILABLE by using google, but, it would be nice to have a central database, like IMDB, that had it all in an easy to use interface. Does anyone know of anything like this?
If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I typed in a bands name in the basic search and this is what I got....

    I get the same thing sometimes. It's their way of annoying people until they register their Email address with them. If you don't want to register, wait a day and you should be able to get access to some of their information again.
