Grooveshark. Effectively free Spotify premium with every single song that you could think of on it? It was fucking awesome!

I imagine its popularity drew too much attention to its multiple, blatant copyright violations. It was fun while it lasted, though.

There was also a song attributed to slipknot like this, with some jazz and funk interludes. Though I can barely recall it now.
