On Good Band Sites: Your Thoughts?

Avril LavigneHey guys,

I’ve been researching finding good band sites to make suggestions for a client, and unfortunately, they are few and far between. Just in terms of layout, most are really, really bad, like RedHotChiliPeppers.com, Alanis.com or the aforementioned Jessica Simpson site. However, I do like Keane’s site, because it’s clean, intuitive, and has personality (and has the added bonus of being spiderable). Moby’s is a bit dull, but at least it’s understandable and doesn’t have random butterflies flittering everywhere.

Looking at it from a non-webmaster or SEO standpoint, as I know many of you are in that profession, what do you look for in a band site? What band sites do you like, and what ones are complete crap? What’s the info that you want when you visit the first time, and subsequent times?
