3 of the 5 sites sell items other that CDs, 2 sites have extensive shopping cart sales.
Only one site is not connected to MP3.com for CD sales and promotions.
Only the Placido Domingo is "squshy", meaing that is reconfigures to well in all size browser in the best attempt to not "Violate the Crease".
Domingo is also the only one that tries animation. And it has the looks of streaming video .
3 site have a "High End Look", one has an intentional low end look for campyness.
One site offers sales on the honor system and refuses your credit card number. And it has sold product.
The better the looking the site the longer it takes to load.
3 of the 5 have a splash page.
I designed only the SantaP site.
I know the designers of the Herd of Blues and Psyco-A-Billys
Some site are "forwarded" and some are resister to the Host Server. DSI numbers and such.
Only one is about a woman.
Only two are solo acts.
Each one is at it’s own level (local to national to international to Super Star). And in that have different levels of budget and have a "look" and "feel" associated with their level success.

Most Liked:

I most liked the Piano Princess site because of the theme of the keyboard. While the site was bigger it was well organized and I felt like I could navigate and not lose tract of where I had been and where I would be going next. I like the images and they are creative and different.

Least liked:

I didn’t like the way Herd of Blues, and Domingo used "mystery meat navagation" (see www.WebPagesThatSuck.com "Daily Sucker"). The buttons in some place are not apparent and the link to can be unknown if not for a guess from a clue provided by the status bar.

Also while the graphical design was very good in these sites Images didn’t over all help me Understand what the musicains were about. They stood as places holder to break up type. And While the Domingo site had life time pictures of who he was, that didn’t help me understand who he IS and what his MUSIC is about.
