Having used Amazon Cloud Player quite a bit, as well as other similar web services (lala, grooveshark), I can say that Cloud Player is the worst web based music player I've used. Can anyone comment on Google Music, or iCloud?

Google music is great. No complaints. (well one, I don't have album art for everything I've ripped in a format that it groks.)
Google Music works great at what it's intended to do. Play your music from anywhere.

That said, I've recently realized that I don't really like my music. That is, I'm much more interested in effective music discovery apps like Pandora, Grooveshark, and Turntable.fm.

Can't wait to see the Google+ spin on Google Music...

Google Music seems to work well (and works great on a TouchPad) but I still haven't gotten 1/50th of my music collection uploaded.
I just want apple to make my itunes collection available to me on any computer I'm on ... hopefully that happens sometime soon, so I don't have to pick the songs/albums/playlists I want to listen to that week and sync them to my iphone.
Why are you unhappy with Cloud Player?
