Just thought I'd add a quick plug for EMusic, since it mainly seems to exist under the radar but seems to be what quite a few people are asking for.

It's got a huge amount of non-mainstream music (or non-crap as I see it) for about £2 an album, but the most important point to me is the extra effort they put in to hiring proper music journalists to write loads of reviews. You can spend ages on the site following official and customer reviews, taking journeys through sub-genres.

And best of all it's all DRM-free. It is a subscription based service with a set number of downloads rather than an unlimited service but then realistically how many new albums can you give a decent listen to every month, plus I find choosing albums part of the fun of experiencing new music.
