I have only been using TheSixtyOne for a couple of days, but I have to say I have really been enjoying it. I understand everyone's concerns about groupthink and the such, but the mission of the site (or at least as it appears to me), is to allow people to discover new music.

The best example of this is the random jukebox (known as the Rack). It only plays songs below a certain threshold of Bumps (the sites equivalent of Diggs, essentially). You are rewarded a point for every song you listen to from the Rack, therefore encouraging you to listen to listen to the less popular songs.

There is of course room for gaming the system, like there is with anything, but the creators of the site have very active doing updates, both to scale up for the influx of new users who have recently joined the site and with new functionality based on suggestions in the forums.

My point being that the founders have shown a commitment to keeping their mission on track and, at least for me, that's convincing enough that it will stay new music centric at least for the time being.

By the way, I heard Blue Moonshine a couple times in the Rack and have bumped them. Keep up the good work!
