As a prog/fusion fan, I need to use progarchives to stay on top of new/obscure stuff instead of rym, because rym users are way too restrictive/uptight about genre labelling. It also doesn't help that rym disabled their pages that allow you to see every released tagged as a particular genre. Also, the more active users don't tend to be prog fans, so a lot of stuff gets missed, or at least there's a lag, and a lot of stuff doesn't get tagged at all. There are a lot of things I hate about rym, actually, including the personalities/attitudes of most of the dominant users, administrators, etc., but I still regularly use it to double-(and triple-etc.-)check discography info along with Wikipedia, discogs, progarchives, etc.
