While looking for Music Theory, I have compiled a list of links and books mentioned on Piano World.
The numbers at the end were the number of positive mentions. I simply googled: "music theory" site:pianoworld.com
(X = liked, Y = did not).
This was in no way a scientific study, I can't even tell you if they were the same people.

http://www.youtube.com/user/richardjpugh/videos - This one was a hard to decision to add or not. The original post was talking about
how the videos were over an hour long, that was in 2010. The videos this youtube user has are less than a few months old. I was about
to leave it off, but I found the discussions talking about how useful the videos were.
