Here, we have listed out the 7 best sites for free music which are both legal and unusually good. We haven’t listed the sites like Spotify and Pandora, as these are quite common for the masses.

1. Cliggo
Cliggo is the perfect site for music lovers who are on a lookout for a wide variety of musical genres. From the popular songs of the 1980s to the latest tracks, this site has it all. Similar to Spotify, it lets you create and save a playlist, once you sign-in to the site. What’s more, you can choose popular tracks from countries from all over the world. And if ever, you find yourself puzzled, the artist recommendations and the song recommendations will do the trick.
2. AccuRadio
Often touted as “The next generation of radio”, AccuRadio is among the top choices for the music lovers. It’s USP is that it contains a diverse range of artists and songs. So whether it’s old disco songs or the new Bruno Mars song — everything will be laid out to you. Though the interface is a tad clunky, it makes that up by providing unlimited free skips on the songs. Since it’s an online radio, you might miss the create playlist part a bit.
2. Gaana
For the Bollywood fan out there, here’s a chance to listen to free and unlimited Hindi songs on Gaana. Gaana is one of the leading music streaming services in India currently and provides a wealth of choices for the music lover in you. This service isn’t just limited to Hindi songs, it contains an equal mixture of international hits as well as regional music.

5. Jango
Fifth on our list is Jango. Besides the popular songs and artists, Jango also acts as a platform for upcoming artists and new songs.

Magnatune is the perfect place to discover hard-to-find and obscure songs. All the songs are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License.
