What is "best" depends on how you are going to use the blog (beyond showcasing music) and other preferences.
Both services are popular. Wordpress is at the top of the list for people who run a web site and want to incorporate blogging or who want to do "multi-user blogging". Blogger is at the top of the list for people who would rather have a service control the primary web site functions and provide automated tools/features (i.e. developer-hosted blogging). Wordpress can also be used as a developer host. Blogger tends to be easier to use by people who not interested in the coding aspects of web sites.
NOTE: There is a distinction between blogging services and those more for social networking (but have a blogging component). Social-networking would include Yahoo! 360, Facebook, and MySpace. They have features that extend beyond just blogging and are geared toward connecting with other profiles.

When I first started blogging almost three years ago I found blogger the easiest to navigate. As a complete novice toward anything to do with html and css code it was nice to have it all pretty much set up for me. Plug and play – really.
Since then I’ve slowly started to figure out how all of it works and am finally to the point where I’m able to customize my blog. I’ve added my own header, changed templates, added widgets and am starting to use things like drop caps and quote boxes. Really cool stuff.
I tried at one point to use Wordpress, because I heard it was more professional looking, but I just couldn’t ever get comfortable with it. (I ended up finding a template that gave me the professional look I was looking for.)
I guess my answer depends upon how comfortable you are with all things computer related. If you know you’re way around html and css code then you’ll be fine with Wordpress. If you’re a complete novice like me it may be best to start with Blogspot.
