Hmm, looks quite the same.
But I guesse its a nice template.

Dislike the drop down navgation (bit plain)

Nice, simple, clean.
A little boring. Theres no WOW factor, or anything eye catching.

Nice though. Muchly prefered to t'other MusicXQ.

ARe you using some CMS system?

I dislike.

It's mono-tone, which can be good if created correctly.

This I believe, lacks charcter.

There's lots of 'waste' space:
The banner, to the left... it's just... bland..., maybe add a silhoutte or some music notes?
Underneath the navigation, maybe an advert space? Google Ads?

The whole 'interface' of the site is 'un-interesting'.

It needs to be 'buzzed' up somewhat into a proper music site, let people know it's a music site without having to look at the slogo!

Also, the switch menu is a bit cheesy :P

Again, good concept, average execution.

P.S~ What's with the name?

Don't take this the wrong way... please :(

Wow everyone who has replied thank you for being constructive.

Yes I agree it is unmusicy... and plain. So thanks for that I will try to rectify it ! And i will post my result!

It isn't a finished site or anything... so the switch menu isn't a finished thing.

And Joe. I just using a news system off a tutorial. For time being.
